What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Crewe?
- We check the lintel and reveals at the survey, and price a new lintel or building out the reveals before you agree.
- Taking out the up-and-over tracks frees the garage ceiling for shelving, storage or better lighting.
- 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.

Rules that apply in Crewe
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.
Up-and-over to roller door conversion in Crewe: questions
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Crewe?
That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Crewe garage so you can compare.
Can I get a price for Crewe without anyone visiting?
Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Crewe?
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.
Do you charge more for Crewe than other towns in Cheshire?
No. Guide prices are the same for Crewe as for anywhere else we cover in Cheshire. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.
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.
Do I need planning permission to change to a roller door?
Changing the door on an existing garage opening usually doesn't need planning permission, but conservation areas, listed buildings, flats, and estates with planning conditions or covenants can be different. If any of those apply, check with your council or management company before you book. Our guide on planning permission and building regulations explains the questions to ask.
