Manual to electric conversion in Chorley: the essentials
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
Features to choose from
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Single-visit fitting in most cases

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.
