How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.
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.
What's included
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Commissioning and safety checks

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.

Before you book in Newcastle-under-Lyme
Do you cover Newcastle-under-Lyme?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Newcastle-under-Lyme. We also cover nearby Longton, Kidsgrove and Crewe.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
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.
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.
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.
