Manual to electric conversion in Littlehampton: the essentials
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. 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. A manual override is fitted so the shutter can still be operated in a power cut.
What's included
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Single-visit fitting in most cases

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.

Before you book in Littlehampton
Do you cover Littlehampton?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Littlehampton. We also cover nearby Bognor Regis, Worthing and Chichester.
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.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
