Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Leigh
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
Specification options
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, remote or timer control

Covering Leigh and nearby
Leigh sits in Greater Manchester, roughly 12 miles from Manchester. Whether the job is in the WN7 district or nearby Atherton, Tyldesley and Golborne, the survey and quote work the same way.
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.
How it works

Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.
Fixed repair price
You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.
Tested and reported
Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.
Before you book in Leigh
Do you cover Leigh?
Yes. Leigh (WN7) is within our Greater Manchester coverage, along with nearby Atherton, Tyldesley and Golborne.
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.
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.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
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.
