Frequently asked questions
How long does a conversion take?
Most domestic and shop conversions take a few hours once the parts are ready, plus any electrical work.
Is it worth converting rather than replacing?
If the shutter is sound, yes: a conversion costs a fraction of a new shutter.
How much does manual to electric conversion cost in Coulsdon?
We use the same UK guide prices in Coulsdon; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Coulsdon?
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.
