What to know about manual to electric conversion in Staines-upon-Thames

A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.

A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.

Features to choose from

  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Tube motor sized to the curtain
  • Key switch, remote or timer control
  • Electrical connection by a qualified electrician

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.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Staines-upon-Thames?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Staines-upon-Thames. We also cover nearby Egham, Ashford (Surrey) and Feltham.

How long does a conversion take?

Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.

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.

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.

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.
