What to know about manual to electric conversion in Witham
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 shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Options we can specify
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- 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.
