Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Royton

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.

The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.

What's included

  • Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Key switch, remote or timer control
  • Options for heavy steel curtains

Covering Royton and nearby

Royton sits in Greater Manchester, roughly 7 miles from Manchester. Whether the job is in the OL2 district or nearby Chadderton, Oldham and Middleton, 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

  1. Describe the fault

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

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Manual to electric conversion: common questions

Do you cover Royton?

Yes. Royton (OL2) is within our Greater Manchester coverage, along with nearby Chadderton, Oldham and Middleton.

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.

Will it still open in a power cut?

Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.

How long does a conversion take?

Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
