Manual to electric conversion in West Glamorgan: 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.
Do I need permission for manual to electric conversion in West Glamorgan?
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.

For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in West Glamorgan are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
