What to know about manual to electric conversion in Abingdon
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. 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. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Options we can specify
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Tube motor sized to the curtain

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.

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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
