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.
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
Specification options
- Manual override for power cuts
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, remote or timer control

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.

Before you book in Bow
Do you cover Bow?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Bow. We also cover nearby Stratford (London), Canary Wharf and Canning Town.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
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.
