Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Northampton
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
Features to choose from
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- 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.
