What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Shepherd's Bush?
- 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.
- 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.

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 Shepherd's Bush: questions
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Shepherd's Bush?
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.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Shepherd's Bush?
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 Shepherd's Bush garage so you can compare.
Do you charge more for Shepherd's Bush than other towns in Greater London?
No. Guide prices are the same for Shepherd's Bush 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.
Do you cover Shepherd's Bush?
Yes. Shepherd's Bush is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including W12, W14 and W11. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
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.
