Manual to electric conversion in Milton Keynes: the essentials

Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. 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. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.

Features to choose from

  • Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Options for heavy steel curtains
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Key switch, remote or timer control
  • Tube motor sized to the curtain

Where we work around Milton Keynes

We cover Milton Keynes and the surrounding MK6 district as part of our work across Buckinghamshire, along with nearby Bletchley, Leighton Buzzard and Ampthill.

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

  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.

Manual to electric conversion: common questions

Do you cover Milton Keynes?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Milton Keynes. We also cover nearby Bletchley, Leighton Buzzard and Ampthill.

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.

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.

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.

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.
