Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Basildon
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. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Options we can specify
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Manual override for power cuts

Rules in England
