Manual to electric conversion in Chester: 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 Chester?
We use the same UK guide prices in Chester; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
