What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Kingston upon Thames?
- We check the lintel and reveals at the survey, and price a new lintel or building out the reveals before you agree.
- If headroom behind the lintel is short, the roller box can go under the lintel or be face-fixed on the wall.
- Taking out the up-and-over tracks frees the garage ceiling for shelving, storage or better lighting.
- An up-and-over frame is kept only if it is sound and square; otherwise it comes out and the opening is prepared.

Up-and-over to roller door conversion in Kingston upon Thames: questions
Is the survey in Kingston upon Thames 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 Kingston upon Thames?
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 Kingston upon Thames as elsewhere we cover.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Kingston upon Thames?
That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Kingston upon Thames garage so you can compare.
Do you cover Kingston upon Thames?
Yes. Kingston upon Thames is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including KT1, KT2 and KT5. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
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.
