What to know about manual to electric conversion in Belper
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.
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
Specification options
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician

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.
