Manual to electric conversion in Exeter: 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.
Is the survey free in Exeter?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do you cover Exeter?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Exeter in the usual way; it is covered as part of Devon.
