What to know about electric roller shutters in Houghton-le-Spring

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.

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. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.

Specification options

  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician

Rules in England

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.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Houghton-le-Spring

Do you cover Houghton-le-Spring?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Houghton-le-Spring. We also cover nearby Chester-le-Street, Washington and Seaham.

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.

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 you fit outside trading hours?

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

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
