Frequently asked questions
How long does a conversion take?
Most domestic and shop conversions take a few hours once the parts are ready, plus any electrical work.
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 much does manual to electric conversion cost in Abingdon?
We use the same UK guide prices in Abingdon; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Abingdon?
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.
