Our manual to electric conversion service in Aylesbury
Aylesbury sits some 16 miles to the south of Milton Keynes.
This work covers homes, shops and industrial premises in Aylesbury, so one survey can cover several openings of different types.
Work in Aylesbury starts with a free survey: we measure the opening, check what the box and guides will fix to, and confirm the power supply.
We cover Aylesbury and the HP20 postcode district as part of Buckinghamshire; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. Leighton Buzzard, Berkhamsted and Chesham are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Manual to electric conversion in Aylesbury: 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.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Aylesbury?
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.
Is the survey free in Aylesbury?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
