Frequently asked questions
Is it worth converting rather than replacing?
If the shutter is sound, yes: a conversion costs a fraction of a new shutter.
Can any manual shutter be made electric?
Most can, as long as the curtain, barrel and guides are in reasonable condition. Very old or damaged shutters may be better replaced.
How much does manual to electric conversion cost in Crowthorne?
We use the same UK guide prices in Crowthorne; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Crowthorne?
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.
