Questions about manual to electric conversion in Maldon
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 long does a conversion take?
Most domestic and shop conversions take a few hours once the parts are ready, plus any electrical work.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Maldon?
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 Maldon?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
