What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Barnstaple?
- Clear width can improve slightly after a conversion, because there are no swing-out arms at the sides of the opening.
- Taking out the up-and-over tracks frees the garage ceiling for shelving, storage or better lighting.
- If headroom behind the lintel is short, the roller box can go under the lintel or be face-fixed on the wall.
- With no swing-out panel, you can park closer to the garage and still open the door all the way.

Rules that apply in Barnstaple
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 Barnstaple: questions
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Barnstaple?
Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.
What do you check at a survey in EX31?
At a survey in EX31 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.
How much does up-and-over to roller door conversion cost in Barnstaple?
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 Barnstaple as elsewhere we cover.
Do you charge more for Barnstaple than other towns in Devon?
No. Guide prices are the same for Barnstaple as for anywhere else we cover in Devon. 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.
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.
