What to know about electric roller shutters in Newmarket
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.
A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. 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.
Specification options
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Optional app or smart-home control
- Manual override for power cuts
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Commissioning and force checks on handover

Rules in England
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.

Electric roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Newmarket?
Yes. Newmarket (CB8) is within our Suffolk coverage, along with nearby Haverhill, Ely and Cambridge.
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.
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.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
