What to know about electric roller shutters in Bradford

A manual override, usually a crank or a release cord, means the shutter can still be opened in a power cut. Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside.

An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.

Specification options

  • Commissioning and force checks on handover
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour
  • Soft start and stop to reduce wear
  • Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
  • Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
  • Optional app or smart-home control

Rules in England

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Bradford

Do you cover Bradford?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Bradford and the BD1 district, as part of our coverage across West Yorkshire.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
