Questions about manual to electric conversion in Enniskillen
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 Enniskillen?
It depends on the property. 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. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
Is the survey free in Enniskillen?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Enniskillen are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
