How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. 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. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
What's included
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain

Rules in England
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.

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Buxton?
Yes. Buxton (SK17) is within our Derbyshire coverage, along with nearby Macclesfield, Hazel Grove and Congleton.
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.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
