Tell us what the shutter is doing. We confirm the price before an engineer visits.
How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
Options we can specify
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician

Rules in Scotland
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.
