Manual to electric conversion in Grimsby: the essentials
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
What's included
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Manual override for power cuts

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.
