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.

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. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.

Options we can specify

  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Thornaby-on-Tees?

Yes. Thornaby-on-Tees (TS17) is within our North Yorkshire coverage, along with nearby Stockton-on-Tees, Billingham and Middlesbrough.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
