What to know about electric roller shutters in Renfrewshire & Inverclyde

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

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

Specification options

  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician

Covering Renfrewshire & Inverclyde

We cover Renfrewshire & Inverclyde from Paisley to Greenock, Newton Mearns and Renfrew, with 4 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Scotland

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
