Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Christchurch
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
What's included
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains

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.
