Manual to electric conversion in Derry/Londonderry: the essentials

Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.

A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.

Specification options

  • Options for heavy steel curtains
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
  • Key switch, remote or timer control
  • Tube motor sized to the curtain

Rules in Northern Ireland

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.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Before you book in Derry/Londonderry

Do you cover Derry/Londonderry?

Yes. Derry/Londonderry (BT47) is within our County Londonderry coverage, along with nearby Strabane and Limavady.

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.

Will it still open in a power cut?

Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.

How long does a conversion take?

Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
