Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Burnham-on-Sea
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Options we can specify
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Manual override for power cuts

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Burnham-on-Sea?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Burnham-on-Sea. We also cover nearby Weston-super-Mare, Bridgwater and Clevedon.
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.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
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.
