Our manual to electric conversion service in Wimbledon
Wimbledon is roughly 7 miles south-west of central London.
Converting a manual shutter in Wimbledon to electric depends on the curtain, barrel and guides being in good condition, so we check them before quoting.
Work in Wimbledon starts with a free survey: we measure the opening, check what the box and guides will fix to, and confirm the power supply.
If your address has an SW19 postcode, it falls within our Greater London coverage. Our coverage around Wimbledon also includes Morden, Mitcham and Putney.

Questions about manual to electric conversion in Wimbledon
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 I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Wimbledon?
Possibly. 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. We recommend checking with your local council first.
