What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Aberdare?
- We check the lintel and reveals at the survey, and price a new lintel or building out the reveals before you agree.
- 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.
- Clear width can improve slightly after a conversion, because there are no swing-out arms at the sides of the opening.

Up-and-over to roller door conversion in Aberdare: questions
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Aberdare?
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 Aberdare garage so you can compare.
Do you charge more for Aberdare than other towns in Mid Glamorgan?
No. Guide prices are the same for Aberdare as for anywhere else we cover in Mid Glamorgan. 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.
Is the survey in Aberdare 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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Aberdare?
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 Aberdare. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
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.
