Manual to electric conversion in Airdrie: the essentials
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Options we can specify
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician

Before you book in Airdrie
Do you cover Airdrie?
Yes. Airdrie (ML6) is within our Lanarkshire coverage, along with nearby Coatbridge, Motherwell and Cumbernauld.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
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.
