What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Cowes?
- 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.
- Taking out the up-and-over tracks frees the garage ceiling for shelving, storage or better lighting.
- Clear width can improve slightly after a conversion, because there are no swing-out arms at the sides of the opening.

After you accept, the fitting date is confirmed in writing according to installer availability. The up-and-over comes out, the roller door goes in and is commissioned, and you're shown how everything works.

Rules that apply in Cowes
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.

Our guide price for up-and-over to roller door conversion is from £1,195 inc VAT. The door price depends on the opening size, the specification and any extras. Travel to Cowes is priced individually and shown in your written quote before you agree to anything.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Cowes?
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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Cowes?
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 Cowes. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
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.
