Manual to electric conversion in Stafford: the essentials
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
Features to choose from
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Tube motor sized to the curtain

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.

Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
