Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Sheffield
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
Specification options
- Manual override for power cuts
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box

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 Sheffield?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Sheffield. We also cover nearby Rotherham, Dronfield and Chapeltown.
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.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
