Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Sittingbourne
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
Features to choose from
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Manual override for power cuts
- Options for heavy steel curtains

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.

Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
