What to know about manual to electric conversion in Ormskirk
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.
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Options we can specify
- Manual override for power cuts
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician

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.
