Manual to electric conversion in Sevenoaks: the essentials
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.
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
What's included
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Commissioning and safety checks

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 Sevenoaks
Do you cover Sevenoaks?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Sevenoaks. We also cover nearby Tonbridge, Swanley and Tunbridge Wells.
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.
Who carries out the work?

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.
