How manual to electric conversion works, and what to ask for
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed.
A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters. Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door.
Specification options
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Manual override for power cuts
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Single-visit fitting in most cases

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.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Halifax
Do you cover Halifax?
Yes. Halifax (HX1) is within our West Yorkshire coverage, along with nearby Brighouse, Huddersfield and Cleckheaton.
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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
