What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Dorset?
- We check the lintel and reveals at the survey, and price a new lintel or building out the reveals before you agree.
- Electric conversions are commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and a Declaration of Conformity at handover.
- Clear width can improve slightly after a conversion, because there are no swing-out arms at the sides of the opening.
- With no swing-out panel, you can park closer to the garage and still open the door all the way.

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 Dorset
Can I get a price without anyone visiting?
Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type, or the visit price for a repair. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.
How do I book a survey in Dorset?
Start with the guide price tool or the form on this page. We then contact you to arrange a free survey for a new door, replacement or conversion, and confirm the date in writing.
Which towns do you cover in Dorset?
We cover Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth and Christchurch. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in Dorset online.
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.
