Manual to electric conversion in Warwickshire: the essentials
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 key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options.
Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails. Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it.
What's included
- Manual override for power cuts
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Key switch, remote or timer control

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.
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.

Before you book in Warwickshire
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.
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.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
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.
