Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Nottingham
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Options we can specify
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Manual override for power cuts

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Nottingham?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Nottingham. We also cover nearby West Bridgford, Arnold and Hucknall.
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.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
