Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Rickmansworth

A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.

Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.

Specification options

  • Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
  • Tube motor sized to the curtain
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
  • Key switch, remote or timer control
  • Options for heavy steel curtains

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.

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Rickmansworth?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Rickmansworth. We also cover nearby Chalfont St Peter, Gerrards Cross and Bushey.

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.

Will it still open in a power cut?

Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.

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.

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.
