What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Govan?
- Taking out the up-and-over tracks frees the garage ceiling for shelving, storage or better lighting.
- Electric conversions are commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and a Declaration of Conformity at handover.
- We check the lintel and reveals at the survey, and price a new lintel or building out the reveals before you agree.
- 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 Govan
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 Govan: questions
What do you check at a survey in G51?
At a survey in G51 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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Govan?
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 Govan. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Is the survey in Govan really free?
Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.
How much does up-and-over to roller door conversion cost in Govan?
Our guide price for up-and-over to roller door conversion is from £1,195 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Govan as elsewhere we cover.
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.
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.
