Frequently asked 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.
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 Huyton?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Huyton are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Huyton?
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.
