Manual to electric conversion in Lancaster: the essentials
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
Features to choose from
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Manual override for power cuts
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains

Rules in England
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
