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

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 tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.

What's included

  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
  • 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.

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.

Do you cover Beckenham?

Yes. Beckenham (BR3) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Catford, Croydon and Blackheath.

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.

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

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.
