How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
What's included
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Manual override for power cuts
- 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

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.

Before you book in Hyde
Do you cover Hyde?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Hyde and the SK14 district, as part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
