Manual to electric conversion in Croydon: the essentials
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
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.
Features to choose from
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks

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.

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Croydon?
Yes. Croydon (CR0) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby South Croydon, Wallington and Carshalton.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
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.
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.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
