How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
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.
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Options we can specify
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- 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.

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Bridgwater?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Bridgwater and the TA6 district, as part of our coverage across Somerset.
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.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
