Manual to electric conversion in Notting Hill: 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.
Is the survey free in Notting Hill?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Notting Hill are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Notting Hill?
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.
