Manual to electric conversion in Bedford: the essentials
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
Features to choose from
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Tube motor sized to the curtain

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.
How it works

Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Bedford?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Bedford and the MK40 district, as part of our coverage across Bedfordshire.
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.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
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.
