Manual to electric conversion in Romford: the essentials
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Options we can specify
- Manual override for power cuts
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box

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.
