How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Specification options
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Manual override for power cuts
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains

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 Haverhill?
Yes. Haverhill (CB9) is within our Suffolk coverage, along with nearby Newmarket, Sudbury and Braintree.
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.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
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.
