Manual to electric conversion in Grays: the essentials
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
What's included
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Single-visit fitting in most cases

Rules in England
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.
