What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Sidcup?
- We check the lintel and reveals at the survey, and price a new lintel or building out the reveals before you agree.
- An up-and-over frame is kept only if it is sound and square; otherwise it comes out and the opening is prepared.
- The old up-and-over panel, its springs or counterweights, tracks and arms are removed and taken away as part of the price.
- 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 Sidcup
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 Sidcup: questions
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Sidcup?
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 Sidcup?
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 Sidcup as elsewhere we cover.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Sidcup?
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 Sidcup garage so you can compare.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Sidcup?
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 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.
