Manual to electric conversion in Leighton Buzzard: the essentials
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
What's included
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Manual override for power cuts

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Leighton Buzzard?
Yes. Leighton Buzzard (LU7) is within our Bedfordshire coverage, along with nearby Dunstable, Bletchley and Milton Keynes.
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.
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.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
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.
