Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Tunbridge Wells
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. 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 shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
Features to choose from
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks

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.
