How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. 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. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
What's included
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- 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.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Wednesfield
Do you cover Wednesfield?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Wednesfield. We also cover nearby Willenhall, Wolverhampton and Bloxwich.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
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.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
