Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Alfreton
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.
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Options we can specify
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Commissioning and safety checks

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 Alfreton?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Alfreton. We also cover nearby Ripley, Sutton in Ashfield and Kirkby in Ashfield.
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.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
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.
