What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Cheshire?
- Clear width can improve slightly after a conversion, because there are no swing-out arms at the sides of the opening.
- If headroom behind the lintel is short, the roller box can go under the lintel or be face-fixed on the wall.
- Taking out the up-and-over tracks frees the garage ceiling for shelving, storage or better lighting.
- We check the lintel and reveals at the survey, and price a new lintel or building out the reveals before you agree.

Rules that apply in England
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.
Planning
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 Cheshire
Which towns do you cover in Cheshire?

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Cheshire?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
Are guide prices the same across Cheshire?
Yes. The guide prices are the same in every town in Cheshire. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode.
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.
Can you keep my existing up-and-over frame?
Sometimes. If the frame is sound, square and securely fixed, it can stay as a finish around the opening and the roller door is fitted to suit it. If it's rotten, damaged or out of square, we take it out and prepare the opening for the new door. The survey decides which applies to your garage.
