Manual to electric conversion in Bolton: the essentials
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
What's included
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Manual override for power cuts
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician

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.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Bolton
Do you cover Bolton?
Yes. Bolton (BL1) is within our Greater Manchester coverage, along with nearby Farnworth, Westhoughton and Radcliffe.
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.

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.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
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.
