Manual to electric conversion in Deal: the essentials
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.
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.
What's included
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain

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.

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Deal?
Yes. Deal (CT14) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Dover, Ramsgate and Broadstairs.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
