How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for

The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. 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. 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
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Key switch, remote or timer control
  • Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
  • Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
  • Commissioning and safety checks

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.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Harlow?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Harlow. We also cover nearby Hoddesdon, Bishop's Stortford and Waltham Abbey.

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.

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 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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
