Manual to electric conversion in Sale: the essentials

A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.

Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.

Options we can specify

  • Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
  • Tube motor sized to the curtain
  • Single-visit fitting in most cases
  • Key switch, remote or timer control

Where we work around Sale

Sale sits in Greater Manchester, roughly 5 miles from Manchester. Whether the job is in the M33 district or nearby Stretford, Urmston and Altrincham, 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.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Sale

Do you cover Sale?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Sale. We also cover nearby Stretford, Urmston and Altrincham.

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.

How long does a conversion take?

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

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
