Manual to electric conversion in Guildford: the essentials
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. 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. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
Options we can specify
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Manual override for power cuts
- 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.
