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

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 Pimlico: questions
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Pimlico?
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.
How much does up-and-over to roller door conversion cost in Pimlico?
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 Pimlico as elsewhere we cover.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Pimlico?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
Can you remove my old garage door in Pimlico?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Pimlico 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.
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.
