Shutters
Electric Shutters
Motorised shutters with remote control, key-switch and smart-home integration.
What's included
Every electric shutters project we facilitate is delivered by a vetted specialist with appropriate trade accreditations, insurance and references. The process is straightforward:
- Tell us about the property. Submit a quick brief — location, property type, dimensions if known.
- Free site survey. A specialist contacts you to arrange a no-obligation site visit.
- Quote & specification. You receive a detailed quote covering materials, finish, installation and aftercare.
- Installation. Professionally installed to industry standards, with warranty and servicing options.
Why specialist installation matters
Electric Shutters sit at the boundary between security, weather-tightness and kerb appeal. Cutting corners on specification or installation tends to surface within twelve months — through misalignment, motor failure, water ingress or rapid corrosion. The specialists in our network are selected for the quality of their long-term work, not the speed of their quotes.
Typical applications
- Retail premises and high-street shops
- Restaurants, cafés and hospitality venues
- Warehouses and industrial units
- Offices and commercial buildings
- Listed buildings and conservation areas (where applicable)
Costs & pricing
Electric Shutters pricing varies significantly with size, specification, finish and access complexity. For typical commercial premises, you can expect a quote that itemises materials, fabrication, installation, warranty period and any optional aftercare. For a detailed breakdown of typical price ranges across different specifications, see our shutters cost guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of motor are used?
Most commercial electric shutters use tubular motors mounted inside the barrel for small-to-medium shutters, or side-mounted motors with chain or shaft drive for larger industrial doors. Choice depends on size, frequency of use and noise tolerance.
Can I control them remotely?
Yes — handheld remotes are standard, with optional key-switch, wall-mounted button, smartphone app integration, and timer scheduling. Smart-home integration is straightforward for sites with the right control hub.
What happens in a power cut?
Most electric shutters have a manual override — typically a chain hoist or hand crank — so you can operate them without power. Battery backup is also available as an option.
How loud are electric shutters?
Modern motors run 55–70 dB at the shutter. Quieter than a vacuum cleaner, but audible from inside a quiet shop. Premium motors with soft-start/stop reduce noise further.
