What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in South Ockendon?
- With no swing-out panel, you can park closer to the garage and still open the door all the way.
- 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.
- An up-and-over frame is kept only if it is sound and square; otherwise it comes out and the opening is prepared.

Rules that apply in South Ockendon
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 South Ockendon: questions

Can I get a price for South Ockendon 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.
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.
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.
