Manual to electric conversion in Oxford: the essentials
The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
What's included
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- 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 Oxford?
Yes. Oxford (OX1) is within our Oxfordshire coverage, along with nearby Abingdon, Didcot and Witney.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
