Manual to electric conversion in Prestwich: the essentials
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
Specification options
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Key switch, remote or timer control

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.

Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.

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.
