How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
What's included
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Burnley?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Burnley and the BB11 district, as part of our coverage across Lancashire.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
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.
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.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
