Manual to electric conversion in Ramsgate: the essentials
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
What's included
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Manual override for power cuts
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- 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.

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

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Ramsgate?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Ramsgate and the CT11 district, as part of our coverage across Kent.
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.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
