Manual to electric conversion in Streatham: the essentials
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
Specification options
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box

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.

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
