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.
Is it worth converting rather than replacing?
If the shutter is sound, yes: a conversion costs a fraction of a new shutter.
How much does manual to electric conversion cost in Perth?
Typical prices are shown above. A survey at your property in Perth confirms the specification and fixes the price.
Is the survey free in Perth?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Perth are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
