Electric roller shutters in South Shields: the essentials
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.
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. Motors are sized to the weight of the curtain, so heavy steel or insulated curtains are paired with a stronger drive.
Specification options
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Manual override for power cuts
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Optional app or smart-home control
- Commissioning and force checks on handover
- 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.

Questions about electric roller shutters in South Shields
Do you cover South Shields?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in South Shields. We also cover nearby Tynemouth, North Shields and Jarrow.
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 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.
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.
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.
