Manual to electric conversion in Chichester: the essentials
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.
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
Options we can specify
- Manual override for power cuts
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box

Where we work around Chichester
Jobs in Chichester are planned as part of our West Sussex coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Bognor Regis, Havant and Littlehampton. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.
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.

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Chichester?
Yes. Chichester (PO19) is within our West Sussex coverage, along with nearby Bognor Regis, Havant and Littlehampton.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
