Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Helensburgh
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
What's included
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Commissioning and safety checks

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Helensburgh
Do you cover Helensburgh?
Yes. Helensburgh (G84) is within our Argyll & Bute coverage, along with nearby Greenock, Dunoon and Clydebank.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
Can any manual shutter be converted?
Most can, if the curtain, barrel and box are in good condition. Very worn or damaged shutters are better replaced, and we tell you which at survey.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
