What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Maidstone?
- Electric conversions are commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and a Declaration of Conformity at handover.
- If headroom behind the lintel is short, the roller box can go under the lintel or be face-fixed on the wall.
- The old up-and-over panel, its springs or counterweights, tracks and arms are removed and taken away as part of the price.
- 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 Maidstone
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 Maidstone: questions
Do you cover Maidstone?
Yes. Maidstone is part of the area we cover in Kent, including ME16, ME15 and ME14. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can you remove my old garage door in Maidstone?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Maidstone 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.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Maidstone?
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.
Is the survey in Maidstone really free?
Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.
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.
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.
