Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Birkenhead

Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.

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.

Features to choose from

  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
  • Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Key switch, remote or timer control
  • Single-visit fitting in most cases

Covering Birkenhead and nearby

Jobs in Birkenhead are planned as part of our Merseyside coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Wallasey, Bebington and Bootle. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Manual to electric conversion: common questions

Do you cover Birkenhead?

Yes. Birkenhead (CH41) is within our Merseyside coverage, along with nearby Wallasey, Bebington and Bootle.

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.

Do I need an electrician?

The shutter needs a power supply nearby. The connection is made by a qualified electrician, and a new circuit is quoted separately if there is no supply.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
