Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Ayr
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
Features to choose from
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Ayr
Do you cover Ayr?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ayr. We also cover nearby Irvine and Newton Mearns.
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.
Do I need an electrician?
The shutter needs a power supply nearby. The connection is made by a qualified electrician, and a new circuit is quoted separately if there is no supply.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
