How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Specification options
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box

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.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Faversham
Do you cover Faversham?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Faversham. We also cover nearby Whitstable, Sittingbourne and Canterbury.
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.
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 you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
