How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way. 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.

Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.

Features to choose from

  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear

Rules in England

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Questions about electric roller shutters in St Helens

Do you cover St Helens?

Yes. St Helens (WA10) is within our Merseyside coverage, along with nearby Prescot, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Huyton.

What happens to an electric shutter in a power cut?

Every electric shutter we supply has a manual override, so it can be wound or released by hand until the power returns.

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.

Can I open the shutter with my phone?

Yes, many motors can be paired with a smart controller for app or timer control. Ask for it at survey and we will confirm whether your motor supports it.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
