Manual to electric conversion in Newport: the essentials
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
Options we can specify
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician

Your questions answered
Do you cover Newport?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Newport and the NP10 district, as part of our coverage across Gwent.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
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 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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
