What to know about electric roller shutters in Surrey
Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive. 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.
Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.
Specification options
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Optional app or smart-home control
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Manual override for power cuts
- Powder coating to a RAL colour

Covering Surrey
We cover Surrey from Woking to Guildford, Esher and Redhill, with 19 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.
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.
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.
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 Surrey
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.
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.
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.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
