Manual to electric conversion in New Milton: the essentials
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.
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.
Specification options
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Tube motor sized to the curtain

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.

Before you book in New Milton
Do you cover New Milton?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in New Milton. We also cover nearby Christchurch, Bournemouth and Hythe.
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.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
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.
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.
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.
