Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Newcastle upon Tyne
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. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.
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
- Manual override for power cuts
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains

Electric roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Newcastle upon Tyne?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Newcastle upon Tyne. We also cover nearby Gateshead, Wallsend and Hebburn.
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 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 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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
