What to know about manual to electric conversion in Southend-on-Sea
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
Specification options
- Manual override for power cuts
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control

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.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Southend-on-Sea
Do you cover Southend-on-Sea?
Yes. Southend-on-Sea (SS1) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby Rayleigh, Canvey Island and South Benfleet.
Will it still open in a power cut?

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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
What warranty do I get?
