What to know about manual to electric conversion in Boston
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Options we can specify
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases

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.
How it works

Your questions answered
Do you cover Boston?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Boston. We also cover nearby Spalding, Skegness and Wisbech.
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.
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.
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.
