How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for

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. A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut.

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.

What's included

  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control

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 Portishead?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Portishead and the BS20 district, as part of our coverage across Somerset.

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 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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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

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.
