What to know about manual to electric conversion in Cheltenham

Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.

A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.

Features to choose from

  • Single-visit fitting in most cases
  • Key switch, remote or timer control
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
  • Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
  • Options for heavy steel curtains

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.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Cheltenham

Do you cover Cheltenham?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Cheltenham and the GL50 district, as part of our coverage across Gloucestershire.

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.

How long does a conversion take?

Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.

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.
