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. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.
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.
What's included
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Tynemouth?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Tynemouth. We also cover nearby North Shields, South Shields and Whitley Bay.
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.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
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.
