What to know about manual to electric conversion in Rhondda
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
Specification options
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases

Rules in Wales
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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Rhondda?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Rhondda. We also cover nearby Tonypandy, Aberdare and Pontypridd.
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.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
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.
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.
