How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. 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. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
Specification options
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Options for heavy steel curtains

Rules in England
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Basingstoke and the RG21 district, as part of our coverage across Hampshire.
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.
