What to know about manual to electric conversion in Broadstairs
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
Options we can specify
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Manual override for power cuts

Rules in England

Do I need an electrician?
