What to know about manual to electric conversion in Exmouth

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. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.

Specification options

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

Jobs in Exmouth are planned as part of our Devon coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Exeter, Newton Abbot and Torquay. 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.

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.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Exmouth

Do you cover Exmouth?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Exmouth. We also cover nearby Exeter, Newton Abbot and Torquay.

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
