Manual to electric conversion in Caterham: the essentials
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.
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly.
What's included
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control

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.

Yes. We survey, fit and repair manual to electric conversion in Caterham and the CR3 district, as part of our coverage across Surrey.
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.

Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
