- The old up-and-over panel, its springs or counterweights, tracks and arms are removed and taken away as part of the price.

Rules that apply in Thornaby-on-Tees
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 Thornaby-on-Tees: questions
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Thornaby-on-Tees?
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.
How much does up-and-over to roller door conversion cost in Thornaby-on-Tees?
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 Thornaby-on-Tees as elsewhere we cover.
What do you check at a survey in TS17?
At a survey in TS17 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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Thornaby-on-Tees?
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 Thornaby-on-Tees. 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.
Is converting from up-and-over to roller worth it?
It depends on how you use the garage and the drive. A roller door doesn't swing out, so you can park closer; it frees the garage ceiling; and insulated laths cut draughts and noise compared with an uninsulated panel. The free survey and written quote give you the actual figure to weigh against those benefits.
