What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Wigan?
- The old up-and-over panel, its springs or counterweights, tracks and arms are removed and taken away as part of the price.
- Clear width can improve slightly after a conversion, because there are no swing-out arms at the sides of the opening.
- 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.

Rules that apply in Wigan
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 Wigan: questions
Can you remove my old garage door in Wigan?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Wigan 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 I message you a photo of my garage in Wigan?
Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Wigan. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you charge more for Wigan than other towns in Greater Manchester?
No. Guide prices are the same for Wigan as for anywhere else we cover in Greater Manchester. 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.
What do you check at a survey in WN1?
At a survey in WN1 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.
Is converting from up-and-over to roller worth it?
It depends on how you use the garage and the drive. A roller door doesn't swing out, so you can park closer; it frees the garage ceiling; and insulated laths cut draughts and noise compared with an uninsulated panel. The free survey and written quote give you the actual figure to weigh against those benefits.
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.
