Motorised Convenience
Electric Blinds
Open, close, and adjust your blinds at the touch of a button — or set them on a timer. Electric blinds bring effortless convenience and a modern, cord-free aesthetic to any room.
Effortless Control, Every Day
Electric blinds transform the way you interact with your windows. Whether you're across the room, upstairs, or away from home entirely, you can open, close and adjust your blinds with a remote control, wall switch, smartphone app or voice command. No chains, no cords, no effort — just smooth, silent operation at the touch of a button.
Motorised blinds are especially useful for hard-to-reach windows — skylights, high-level glazing, conservatory roofs and windows behind furniture or above baths. In these situations, manual operation ranges from awkward to impossible. An electric motor solves the problem completely and adds a premium, modern feel to your home.
At Bubbles Blinds & Shutters, we supply and fit motorised roller blinds, roman blinds, venetian blinds and day & night blinds. We'll recommend the best motor system for your setup during your free home consultation and walk you through all the control options — from simple remotes to full smart home integration.

Motor Types and Power Options
We offer three main motor configurations to suit different situations and budgets. Battery-powered motors are the simplest option — no wiring required, easy to retrofit, and the rechargeable batteries typically last 6–12 months between charges depending on usage. They're the most popular choice for existing homes where running cables isn't practical.
Rechargeable solar-panel motors take battery convenience a step further by using a small solar panel mounted on the window to keep the motor topped up automatically. They're ideal for south-facing windows that receive good daylight and practically eliminate the need for manual recharging.
Hardwired motors connect directly to your mains power supply and offer the most reliable, maintenance-free operation. They're the best choice for new builds, major renovations, or any situation where you're already running cables to the window area. Hardwired motors also support the widest range of smart home integration options.
During your consultation, we'll assess your windows, discuss your preferences, and recommend the most practical power option for each location in your home.
Smart Home Integration
Modern motorised blinds can be fully integrated into your smart home ecosystem. We work with all the major platforms — Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit — allowing you to control your blinds by voice, from your phone, or as part of automated scenes and routines.
Imagine your blinds opening automatically at 7am each morning, closing at sunset, or responding to a weather sensor that detects bright sunshine. With smart integration, your window coverings become an active part of your home's comfort and energy management system.
We can set up group controls so that all blinds in a room — or all blinds in your entire home — move together with a single command. Individual control is always available too, so you can adjust any blind independently when needed.
If you're not sure about smart home integration, a simple remote control works perfectly. You can always add smart features later — the motors we install are compatible with upgrades.
