Manual to electric conversion in Antrim: questions
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.
Is it worth converting rather than replacing?
If the shutter is sound, yes: a conversion costs a fraction of a new shutter.
Do you cover Antrim?
Yes. Antrim and the BT41 postcode district are part of our coverage across County Antrim.
Is the survey free in Antrim?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
