Manual to electric conversion in Maghull: 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 I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Maghull?
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.
Is the survey free in Maghull?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
