Manual to electric conversion in Whitehaven: the essentials
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Features to choose from
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control

Covering Whitehaven and nearby
Jobs in Whitehaven are planned as part of our Cumbria coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Workington. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.
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.

Before you book in Whitehaven
Do you cover Whitehaven?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Whitehaven. We also cover nearby Workington.
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.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
