Manual to electric conversion in Chelsea: the essentials
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Features to choose from
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control
