Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Buckinghamshire

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. 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. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.

Features to choose from

  • Single-visit fitting in most cases
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Key switch, remote or timer control
  • Tube motor sized to the curtain
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Options for heavy steel curtains

Covering Buckinghamshire

We cover Buckinghamshire from Milton Keynes to High Wycombe, Aylesbury and Bletchley, with 8 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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.

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

  1. Describe the fault

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

  2. Engineer visit

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

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Your questions answered

Will it still open in a power cut?

Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.

How long does a conversion take?

Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
