Electric roller shutters in Ludlow: the essentials

Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.

Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way. Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive.

Specification options

  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Electric roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Ludlow?

Yes. Ludlow (SY8) is within our Shropshire coverage, along with nearby Leominster, Stourport-on-Severn and Kidderminster.

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.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
