Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Chatham
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.
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
Features to choose from
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Chatham?
Yes. Chatham (ME4) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Gillingham, Rochester and Strood.
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.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
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 you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
