Choosing manual to electric conversion for premises in Wallsend

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

The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.

Features to choose from

  • Key switch, remote or timer control
  • Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Tube motor sized to the curtain
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Options for heavy steel curtains

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.
