What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Borehamwood?
- Electric conversions are commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and a Declaration of Conformity at handover.
- Clear width can improve slightly after a conversion, because there are no swing-out arms at the sides of the opening.
- If headroom behind the lintel is short, the roller box can go under the lintel or be face-fixed on the wall.
- Taking out the up-and-over tracks frees the garage ceiling for shelving, storage or better lighting.

Rules that apply in Borehamwood
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 Borehamwood: questions
What do you check at a survey in WD6?
At a survey in WD6 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.
How much does up-and-over to roller door conversion cost in Borehamwood?
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 Borehamwood as elsewhere we cover.
Can you remove my old garage door in Borehamwood?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Borehamwood 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.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Borehamwood?
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 Borehamwood garage so you can compare.
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.
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.
