Choosing electric roller shutters for premises in Wakefield
Powered shutters are treated as machinery, so they are commissioned with a risk assessment and safety checks rather than simply wired in. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.
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. An electrician connects the shutter to a fused spur, and the work is done to BS 7671, the wiring regulations.
What's included
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Aluminium, steel, perforated or insulated curtains
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Wakefield?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Wakefield and the WF1 district, as part of our coverage across West Yorkshire.
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.
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.
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 you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
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.
