How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for

The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.

Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.

What's included

  • Options for heavy steel curtains
  • Key switch, remote or timer control
  • Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
  • Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Single-visit fitting in most cases

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.

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 Swadlincote

Do you cover Swadlincote?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Swadlincote and the DE11 district, as part of our coverage across Derbyshire.

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.

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.

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.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
