What to know about manual to electric conversion in Shipley

Once motorised, the shutter is commissioned with safety checks like any powered door. The work is usually done in a single visit once the parts are ready.

Rules in England

Your questions answered
Do you cover Shipley?
Yes. Shipley (BD18) is within our West Yorkshire coverage, along with nearby Bradford, Guiseley and Yeadon.
Will it still open in a power cut?
Yes, a manual override is fitted as part of the conversion.
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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
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.
