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

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.

Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.

Specification options

  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
  • Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
  • Options for heavy steel curtains
  • Key switch, remote or timer control
  • Manual override for power cuts

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 Becontree

Do you cover Becontree?

Yes. Becontree (RM9) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Dagenham, Barking and Ilford.

Will it still open in a power cut?

Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.

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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
