Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Kettering

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.

A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.

Specification options

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

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.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Kettering

Do you cover Kettering?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Kettering and the NN16 district, as part of our coverage across Northamptonshire.

How long does a conversion take?

Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.

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.

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.

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.

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.
