What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Hastings?
- Clear width can improve slightly after a conversion, because there are no swing-out arms at the sides of the opening.
- 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.
- 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 Hastings
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 Hastings: questions
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Hastings?
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.
Do you charge more for Hastings than other towns in East Sussex?
No. Guide prices are the same for Hastings as for anywhere else we cover in East Sussex. 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 I get a price for Hastings 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.
Do you cover Hastings?
Yes. Hastings is part of the area we cover in East Sussex, including TN34, TN37 and TN38. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
