Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Lichfield
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
What's included
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Manual override for power cuts
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Commissioning and safety checks

Rules in England
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Lichfield?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Lichfield. We also cover nearby Burntwood, Tamworth and Aldridge.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
