How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
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 work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Specification options
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Manual override for power cuts

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.
How it works

Your questions answered
Do you cover Hove?
Yes. Hove (BN3) is within our East Sussex coverage, along with nearby Burgess Hill, Worthing and Haywards Heath.
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.
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.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
