Frequently asked questions
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.
Do you cover Swinton?
Yes. Swinton and the M27 postcode district are part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Swinton?
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.
