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.

Most domestic and shop conversions take a few hours once the parts are ready, plus any electrical work.
How much does manual to electric conversion cost in Hayes?
The guide prices above apply in Hayes. Your exact price depends on size, finish, controls and access, and is fixed in writing after survey.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Hayes?
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.
