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.
Is it worth converting rather than replacing?
If the shutter is sound, yes: a conversion costs a fraction of a new shutter.
Do you cover Stirling?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Stirling in the usual way; it is covered as part of Stirling & Falkirk.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in Stirling?
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. If you are unsure, ask your council; we provide product details for any application.
