Manual to electric conversion in Broadstairs: 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.
How much does manual to electric conversion cost in Broadstairs?
We use the same UK guide prices in Broadstairs; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Broadstairs?
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.
