Manual to electric conversion in Thamesmead: the essentials
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. 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. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Features to choose from
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Manual override for power cuts
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Thamesmead?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Thamesmead and the SE28 district, as part of our coverage across Greater London.
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.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
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.
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.
