Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Peterlee
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 shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
Specification options
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box

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.

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Peterlee?
Yes. Peterlee (SR8) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Seaham, Hartlepool and Houghton-le-Spring.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
