Manual to electric conversion in Caterham: 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.
Is the survey free in Caterham?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Caterham are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do you cover Caterham?
