Manual to electric conversion in Trowbridge: the essentials
Heavier steel curtains may need a larger barrel or a different drive to motorise properly. The existing curtain and box are inspected first, because a worn shutter is not worth motorising.
A key switch is the usual control for shops, with remotes and timers as options. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
Options we can specify
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Manual override for power cuts

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.

Manual to electric conversion: common questions
Do you cover Trowbridge?
Yes. Trowbridge (BA14) is within our Wiltshire coverage, along with nearby Bath, Frome and Chippenham.
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.
How long does a conversion take?
Usually a single visit once the motor and controls are ready.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
