Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Torquay

Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.

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.

What's included

  • Single-visit fitting in most cases
  • Options for heavy steel curtains
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Tube motor sized to the curtain
  • Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
  • Commissioning and safety checks

Covering Torquay and nearby

Jobs in Torquay are planned as part of our Devon coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Paignton, Newton Abbot and Exmouth. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.

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 Torquay

Do you cover Torquay?

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

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.

How long does a conversion take?

Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.

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.

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.
