How electric roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive. Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in.

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.

Options we can specify

  • Optional app or smart-home control
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains

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 Gateshead?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Gateshead and the NE8 district, as part of our coverage across Tyne and Wear.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
