Tell us what the shutter is doing. We confirm the price before an engineer visits.
How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
What's included
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases

Rules in England
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
How it works

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

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Luton
Do you cover Luton?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Luton and the LU1 district, as part of our coverage across Bedfordshire.
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.
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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
