Manual to electric conversion in Smethwick: the essentials
The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready. 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. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
Options we can specify
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Manual override for power cuts
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- 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.
