Manual to electric conversion in Greater London: questions

Is it worth converting rather than replacing?

If the shutter is sound, yes: a conversion costs a fraction of a new shutter.

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 Greater London?

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.
