Manual to electric conversion in Pembroke Dock: 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 Pembroke Dock?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Pembroke Dock are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Pembroke Dock?
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. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
