Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Consett
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
Options we can specify
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, remote or timer control

Rules in England

Before you book in Consett
Do you cover Consett?
Yes. Consett (DH8) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Stanley, Chester-le-Street and Durham.
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.
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 you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
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.
