Our manual to electric conversion service in Shirley
Shirley is part of our West Midlands coverage, and addresses in the B90 postcode district are covered in the same way as the rest of West Midlands. We also cover Solihull, Birmingham and Smethwick, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
For reference, Shirley lies about 6 miles south-east of Birmingham.
Converting a manual shutter in Shirley to electric depends on the curtain, barrel and guides being in good condition, so we check them before quoting.
