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