What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Woking?
- Taking out the up-and-over tracks frees the garage ceiling for shelving, storage or better lighting.
- Clear width can improve slightly after a conversion, because there are no swing-out arms at the sides of the opening.
- With no swing-out panel, you can park closer to the garage and still open the door all the way.
- Electric conversions are commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and a Declaration of Conformity at handover.

Rules that apply in Woking
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 Woking: questions
Can you remove my old garage door in Woking?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Woking 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.
Is the survey in Woking 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.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Woking?
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 an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Woking?
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 Woking garage so you can compare.
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.
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.
