What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Falmouth?
- An up-and-over frame is kept only if it is sound and square; otherwise it comes out and the opening is prepared.
- Clear width can improve slightly after a conversion, because there are no swing-out arms at the sides of the opening.
- Electric conversions are commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and a Declaration of Conformity at handover.
- The old up-and-over panel, its springs or counterweights, tracks and arms are removed and taken away as part of the price.

Rules that apply in Falmouth
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 Falmouth: questions
Do you charge more for Falmouth than other towns in Cornwall?
No. Guide prices are the same for Falmouth as for anywhere else we cover in Cornwall. 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.
How much does up-and-over to roller door conversion cost in Falmouth?
Our guide price for up-and-over to roller door conversion is from £1,195 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Falmouth as elsewhere we cover.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Falmouth?
Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Falmouth. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you cover Falmouth?
Yes. Falmouth is part of the area we cover in Cornwall, including TR11 and TR10. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Will I lose height in the opening with a roller door?
Not usually, if the box can sit behind the lintel inside the garage, which is the normal position. If there's too little headroom inside, the box can go under the lintel, which does reduce the clear opening height, or be face-fixed on the front of the wall. We measure this at the survey and tell you before you commit.
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.
