Manual to electric conversion in Northolt: questions
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 Northolt?
Yes. Northolt and the UB5 postcode district are part of our coverage across Greater London.
Is the survey free in Northolt?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
