Manual to electric conversion in Potters Bar: the essentials

Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.

Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.

What's included

  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Single-visit fitting in most cases
  • Key switch, remote or timer control
  • Options for heavy steel curtains
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Electrical connection by a qualified electrician

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.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Potters Bar

Do you cover Potters Bar?

Yes. Potters Bar (EN6) is within our Hertfordshire coverage, along with nearby Barnet, Enfield and Borehamwood.

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.

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.

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.
