Manual to electric conversion in Tunbridge Wells: questions
Is it worth converting rather than replacing?
If the shutter is sound, yes: a conversion costs a fraction of a new shutter.
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 the survey free in Tunbridge Wells?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Tunbridge Wells are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Tunbridge Wells?
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.
