How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.

Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.

Features to choose from

  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • 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 Didcot

Do you cover Didcot?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Didcot. We also cover nearby Abingdon, Thatcham and Newbury.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

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.
