What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Kelso?
- 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.
- An up-and-over frame is kept only if it is sound and square; otherwise it comes out and the opening is prepared.
- Taking out the up-and-over tracks frees the garage ceiling for shelving, storage or better lighting.

Rules that apply in Kelso
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.
Up-and-over to roller door conversion in Kelso: questions
Do you cover Kelso?
Yes. Kelso is part of the area we cover in the Scottish Borders, including TD5. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
What do you check at a survey in TD5?
At a survey in TD5 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.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Kelso?
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.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Kelso?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland, and widening the opening needs a building warrant. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
Can you keep my existing up-and-over frame?
Sometimes. If the frame is sound, square and securely fixed, it can stay as a finish around the opening and the roller door is fitted to suit it. If it's rotten, damaged or out of square, we take it out and prepare the opening for the new door. The survey decides which applies to your garage.
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.
