How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.

An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.

Specification options

  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover

Morpeth and surrounding towns

Jobs in Morpeth are planned as part of our Northumberland coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Ashington, Cramlington and Whitley Bay. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.

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.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Morpeth?

Yes. Morpeth (NE61) is within our Northumberland coverage, along with nearby Ashington, Cramlington and Whitley Bay.

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.

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 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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
