How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. 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. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
Features to choose from
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Dagenham?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Dagenham. We also cover nearby Becontree, Romford and Hornchurch.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
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.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
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.
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.
