What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Eltham?
- 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.
- Electric conversions are commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and a Declaration of Conformity at handover.
- 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 Eltham
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 Eltham: questions
Do you cover Eltham?
Yes. Eltham is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SE9, SE12 and SE3. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can you remove my old garage door in Eltham?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Eltham 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.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Eltham?
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 Eltham than other towns in Greater London?
No. Guide prices are the same for Eltham as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. 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 you keep my existing up-and-over frame?
Sometimes. If the frame is sound, square and securely fixed, it can stay as a finish around the opening and the roller door is fitted to suit it. If it's rotten, damaged or out of square, we take it out and prepare the opening for the new door. The survey decides which applies to your garage.
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.
