What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Port Talbot?
- If headroom behind the lintel is short, the roller box can go under the lintel or be face-fixed on the wall.
- An up-and-over frame is kept only if it is sound and square; otherwise it comes out and the opening is prepared.
- We check the lintel and reveals at the survey, and price a new lintel or building out the reveals before you agree.
- With no swing-out panel, you can park closer to the garage and still open the door all the way.

Up-and-over to roller door conversion in Port Talbot: questions
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Port Talbot?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Wales, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
Do you cover Port Talbot?
Yes. Port Talbot is part of the area we cover in West Glamorgan, including SA12 and SA13. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Is the survey in Port Talbot 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.
What do you check at a survey in SA12?
At a survey in SA12 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.
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.
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.
