What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Greater Manchester?
- Clear width can improve slightly after a conversion, because there are no swing-out arms at the sides of the opening.
- Electric conversions are commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and a Declaration of Conformity at handover.
- 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.

Rules that apply in England
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.
Questions about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Greater Manchester
Can I get a price without anyone visiting?
Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type, or the visit price for a repair. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Greater Manchester?
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.
Are guide prices the same across Greater Manchester?
Yes. The guide prices are the same in every town in Greater Manchester. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode.
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.
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.
