How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
Features to choose from
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Tube motor sized to the curtain

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.

Before you book in Braintree
Do you cover Braintree?
Yes. Braintree (CM7) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby Witham, Chelmsford and Maldon.
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.
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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
