What to know about manual to electric conversion in Ashington
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
Features to choose from
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- 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.
