What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Swansea?
- Taking out the up-and-over tracks frees the garage ceiling for shelving, storage or better lighting.
- The old up-and-over panel, its springs or counterweights, tracks and arms are removed and taken away as part of the price.
- 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.

Rules that apply in Swansea
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 in Wales before it starts.
Planning
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Wales. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), is 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 Swansea: questions
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Swansea?
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 Swansea garage so you can compare.
Do you charge more for Swansea than other towns in West Glamorgan?
No. Guide prices are the same for Swansea as for anywhere else we cover in West Glamorgan. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.
Do you cover Swansea?
Yes. Swansea is part of the area we cover in West Glamorgan, including SA1, SA2 and SA5. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Swansea?
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.
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.
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.
