What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Edinburgh?
- The old up-and-over panel, its springs or counterweights, tracks and arms are removed and taken away as part of the price.
- Taking out the up-and-over tracks frees the garage ceiling for shelving, storage or better lighting.
- We check the lintel and reveals at the survey, and price a new lintel or building out the reveals before you agree.

Rules that apply in Edinburgh
Structural work
Structural alterations, such as widening the opening or fitting a new lintel, need a building warrant from the local authority before work starts.
Planning
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or title conditions can restrict changes to how a garage looks, so check before ordering.
Up-and-over to roller door conversion in Edinburgh: questions
Can you remove my old garage door in Edinburgh?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Edinburgh 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.
Can I get a price for Edinburgh 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 I message you a photo of my garage in Edinburgh?
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 Edinburgh. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
What do you check at a survey in EH2?
At a survey in EH2 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.
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.
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.
