Manual to electric conversion in Wick: 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 Wick?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Wick in the usual way; it is covered as part of Highlands & Islands.
