Manual to electric conversion in Holloway: questions
Is it worth converting rather than replacing?
If the shutter is sound, yes: a conversion costs a fraction of a new shutter.
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 Holloway?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Holloway in the usual way; it is covered as part of Greater London.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Holloway?
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. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
