Manual to electric conversion in Blackheath: the essentials
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
Features to choose from
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Manual override for power cuts
- Commissioning and safety checks

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.

Before you book in Blackheath
Do you cover Blackheath?
Yes. Blackheath (SE3) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Greenwich, Catford and Eltham.
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.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
