Manual to electric conversion in Clwyd: the essentials
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
Options we can specify
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Manual override for power cuts
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Key switch, remote or timer control

Rules in Wales
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 Wales, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations as applied in Wales, so the work is self-certified by a registered electrician or notified to building control.

Your questions answered
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.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
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.
