Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Maidstone

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 shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.

What's included

  • Options for heavy steel curtains
  • Tube motor sized to the curtain
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Single-visit fitting in most cases
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Key switch, remote or timer control

Where we work around Maidstone

We cover Maidstone, the ME14 district and nearby Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham, as part of our Kent coverage.

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.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Before you book in Maidstone

Do you cover Maidstone?

Yes. Maidstone (ME14) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham.

Will it still open in a power cut?

Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.

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 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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
