What to know about manual to electric conversion in Eltham
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. 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
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Manual override for power cuts

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.

Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.

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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
