Manual to electric conversion in Weymouth: the essentials
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Features to choose from
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Commissioning and safety checks

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.

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Weymouth?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Weymouth. We also cover nearby Poole and Yeovil.
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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
