What to know about manual to electric conversion in Hereford
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
Specification options
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box

Rules in England
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Hereford?
Yes. Hereford (HR1) is within our Herefordshire coverage, along with nearby Ross-on-Wye, Leominster and Malvern.
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.
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 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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
