What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Ilford?
- Clear width can improve slightly after a conversion, because there are no swing-out arms at the sides of the opening.
- We check the lintel and reveals at the survey, and price a new lintel or building out the reveals before you agree.
- With no swing-out panel, you can park closer to the garage and still open the door all the way.
- If headroom behind the lintel is short, the roller box can go under the lintel or be face-fixed on the wall.

Rules that apply in Ilford
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 Ilford: questions
How much does up-and-over to roller door conversion cost in Ilford?
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 Ilford as elsewhere we cover.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Ilford?
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 Ilford. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you charge more for Ilford than other towns in Greater London?
No. Guide prices are the same for Ilford 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.
What do you check at a survey in IG1?
At a survey in IG1 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.
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.
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.
