What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Oban?
- The old up-and-over panel, its springs or counterweights, tracks and arms are removed and taken away as part of the price.
- An up-and-over frame is kept only if it is sound and square; otherwise it comes out and the opening is prepared.
- If headroom behind the lintel is short, the roller box can go under the lintel or be face-fixed on the wall.
- We check the lintel and reveals at the survey, and price a new lintel or building out the reveals before you agree.

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Oban?

How much does up-and-over to roller door conversion cost in Oban?
Our guide price for up-and-over to roller door conversion is from £1,195 inc VAT. The door price depends on the opening size, the specification and any extras. Travel to Oban is priced individually and shown in your written quote before you agree to anything.
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.
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.
