Questions about manual to electric conversion in Ruislip
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.
Is the survey free in Ruislip?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Ruislip?
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.
