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.
Do you cover Archway?
Yes. Archway and the N19 postcode district are part of our coverage across Greater London.
Is the survey free in Archway?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Archway are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
