What to know about manual to electric conversion in Portsmouth
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.
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
Specification options
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Manual override for power cuts
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Portsmouth?
Yes. Portsmouth (PO5) is within our Hampshire coverage, along with nearby Gosport, Fareham and Ryde.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
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.
