Manual to electric conversion in Welling: the essentials
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.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
Specification options
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- 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.
