Questions about manual to electric conversion in Camden Town
How long does a conversion take?
Most domestic and shop conversions take a few hours once the parts are ready, plus any electrical work.
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.
Do you cover Camden Town?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Camden Town in the usual way; it is covered as part of Greater London.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Camden Town?
Possibly. 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. We recommend checking with your local council first.
