Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Welwyn Garden City
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
Specification options
- Manual override for power cuts
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain

Rules in England

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Welwyn Garden City?
Yes. Welwyn Garden City (AL8) is within our Hertfordshire coverage, along with nearby Hatfield, Hertford and St Albans.
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.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
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.
