Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Preston

Remote fobs, wall switches and timer controls can be combined, so staff can open up from the car or the shutter can close at a set time. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.

A tubular motor sits inside the barrel on most shop and domestic shutters, while larger doors use a direct-drive or chain motor on the end plate. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.

Specification options

  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

How it works

  1. Tell us about the opening

    Send the postcode, a rough size and a photo if you have one, using the form or a call.

  2. Free survey

    We measure, check the structure, power supply and planning position, and talk through options.

  3. Written fixed price

    You get a written quote with the product, finish, controls and price before anything is ordered.

  4. Made, fitted and handed over

    The shutter is made to measure, fitted, commissioned and handed over with its documents.

Before you book in Preston

Do you cover Preston?

Yes. Preston (PR1) is within our Lancashire coverage, along with nearby Leyland, Chorley and Blackburn.

Do I need a new electrical circuit?

Usually not. Most shutters run from a fused spur near the shutter box. If there is no supply nearby, a new circuit is quoted separately and done by a qualified electrician.

Are safety edges always needed?

Not always. It depends on the risk assessment: who uses the opening, whether people or vehicles pass under it, and how the shutter is controlled. Hold-to-run key switches on a shopfront often need less than an automatic industrial door.

How long do shutter motors last?

With regular servicing a good tube motor typically lasts many years. Heavy daily use, an overweight curtain or misaligned guides shorten its life, which is why servicing matters.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
