Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Southampton
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
Specification options
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Single-visit fitting in most cases

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Southampton?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Southampton and the SO15 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.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
