Up-and-over to roller door conversion in Christchurch
If the up-and-over door on your garage in Christchurch swings out over the drive or fills the ceiling with tracks, a roller door can solve both. We convert garages across BH23 postcodes, keeping the old frame only when it is sound.

What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Christchurch?
- We check the lintel and reveals at the survey, and price a new lintel or building out the reveals before you agree.
- With no swing-out panel, you can park closer to the garage and still open the door all the way.
- 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.

Rules that apply in Christchurch
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 Christchurch: questions
Can I get a price for Christchurch 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.
Can you remove my old garage door in Christchurch?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Christchurch address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Christchurch?
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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Christchurch?
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 Christchurch. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
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.
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.
