Manual to electric conversion in Berkshire: questions
How long does a conversion take?
Most domestic and shop conversions take a few hours once the parts are ready, plus any electrical work.
Is it worth converting rather than replacing?
If the shutter is sound, yes: a conversion costs a fraction of a new shutter.
Is the survey free in Berkshire?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Berkshire are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Berkshire?
Possibly. Like-for-like replacements do not usually need permission, but a new external shutter or a change of type or position can, especially on shopfronts and listed buildings. We recommend checking with your local council first.
