What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Lerwick?
- Clear width can improve slightly after a conversion, because there are no swing-out arms at the sides of the opening.
- An up-and-over frame is kept only if it is sound and square; otherwise it comes out and the opening is prepared.
- With no swing-out panel, you can park closer to the garage and still open the door all the way.
- Electric conversions are commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and a Declaration of Conformity at handover.

Up-and-over to roller door conversion in Lerwick: questions
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Lerwick?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland, and widening the opening needs a building warrant. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
Can I get a price for Lerwick without anyone visiting?
Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.
Do you cover Lerwick?
Yes. Lerwick is part of the area we cover in the Highlands, Moray and Islands, including ZE1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Do you charge more for Lerwick?
Possibly. The door and visit guide prices are the same as elsewhere, but travel to Lerwick is priced individually and shown in writing before you agree to anything, so there are no surprises on the day.
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.
