Electric roller shutters in Dover
Dover sits some 36 miles to the east of Maidstone.
Where a window in Dover has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.
If you let out a property in Dover, electric roller shutters can protect it between tenancies or bookings, and solar or remote control avoids extra wiring.
Whether your property is in the centre of Dover or on its edges, it is included in our Kent coverage. Neighbouring towns we cover include Folkestone (7 miles away), Deal and Canterbury.

What to check in Dover before ordering
In Dover, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Escape windows: On windows or doors needed for escape we add a manual override or battery backup.
- Electrics: Work is carried out to BS 7671. Notifiable work in homes in England and Wales is self-certified by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Dover
Can my manual shutters be made electric?
Usually yes. A motor can be fitted inside the existing barrel, as long as the shutter is in reasonable condition.
Do electric shutters need a new circuit?
Not always. Many can be fed from an existing circuit through a fused spur; larger groups may need a new circuit. We check at survey and the electrical work is done to BS 7671.
How much do electric roller shutters cost in Dover?
We use the same UK guide prices in Dover; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Dover?
Possibly. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. We recommend checking with your local council first.
