How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for
A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. 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. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.
Specification options
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them

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 Norwich
Do you cover Norwich?
Yes. Norwich (NR2) is within our Norfolk coverage, along with nearby Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.
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.
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 your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
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.
