Manual to electric conversion in Dyfed: the essentials

Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.

The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.

Features to choose from

  • Tube motor sized to the curtain
  • Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
  • Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Key switch, remote or timer control

Rules in Wales

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.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in Wales, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations as applied in Wales, so the work is self-certified by a registered electrician or notified to building control.
