What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in the Scottish Borders?
- The old up-and-over panel, its springs or counterweights, tracks and arms are removed and taken away as part of the price.
- With no swing-out panel, you can park closer to the garage and still open the door all the way.
- If headroom behind the lintel is short, the roller box can go under the lintel or be face-fixed on the wall.
- Electric conversions are commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and a Declaration of Conformity at handover.

Rules that apply in Scotland
Structural work
Structural alterations, such as widening the opening or fitting a new lintel, need a building warrant from the local authority before work starts.
Planning
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or title conditions can restrict changes to how a garage looks, so check before ordering.
Questions about up-and-over to roller door conversion in the Scottish Borders
Can I get a price without anyone visiting?
Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type, or the visit price for a repair. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.
Are guide prices the same across the Scottish Borders?
Yes. The guide prices are the same in every town in the Scottish Borders. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode.
How do I book a survey in the Scottish Borders?
Start with the guide price tool or the form on this page. We then contact you to arrange a free survey for a new door, replacement or conversion, and confirm the date in writing.
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.
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.
