What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Bristol?
- We check the lintel and reveals at the survey, and price a new lintel or building out the reveals before you agree.
- The old up-and-over panel, its springs or counterweights, tracks and arms are removed and taken away as part of the price.
- If headroom behind the lintel is short, the roller box can go under the lintel or be face-fixed on the wall.
- Electric conversions are commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and a Declaration of Conformity at handover.

Structural work
Widening the opening, removing a central pier or fitting a new lintel is structural work that needs Building Regulations approval from building control before it starts.

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), sits in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, or is on an estate where planning conditions or covenants control garage doors.
Questions about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Bristol
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Bristol?

Is converting from up-and-over to roller worth it?
It depends on how you use the garage and the drive. A roller door doesn't swing out, so you can park closer; it frees the garage ceiling; and insulated laths cut draughts and noise compared with an uninsulated panel. The free survey and written quote give you the actual figure to weigh against those benefits.
Does a roller door need more headroom than an up-and-over?
A roller door needs headroom above the opening for its box, while an up-and-over needs space inside the garage for its tracks and for the panel when it's open. Domestic roller boxes are commonly around 205 to 300 mm or more, depending on door height and lath size. If there isn't room behind the lintel, other box positions are possible.
