What to know about manual to electric conversion in Seaham
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Options we can specify
- Manual override for power cuts
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Seaham?
Yes. Seaham (SR7) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Houghton-le-Spring, Sunderland and Peterlee.
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.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
