Manual to electric conversion in Downpatrick: the essentials
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
Specification options
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Manual override for power cuts
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Key switch, remote or timer control

Before you book in Downpatrick
Do you cover Downpatrick?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Downpatrick and the BT30 district, as part of our coverage across County Down.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
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.
