Manual to electric conversion in Arbroath: the essentials
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
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.
Features to choose from
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Options for heavy steel curtains

Rules in Scotland
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.

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Arbroath?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Arbroath. We also cover nearby Montrose and Forfar.
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.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
