Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Surbiton
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
What's included
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Single-visit fitting in most cases

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.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Surbiton
Do you cover Surbiton?
Yes. Surbiton (KT5) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby New Malden, Esher and Hampton.
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.
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.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
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.
