Questions about manual to electric conversion in Ormskirk
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 you cover Ormskirk?
Yes. Ormskirk and the L39 postcode district are part of our coverage across Lancashire.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Ormskirk?
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.
