What to know about manual to electric conversion in Hinckley
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
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.
Specification options
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control

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.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Hinckley
Do you cover Hinckley?
Yes. Hinckley (LE10) is within our Leicestershire coverage, along with nearby Nuneaton, Bedworth and Coventry.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
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.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
