What should I know about up-and-over to roller door conversion in Birmingham?
- An up-and-over frame is kept only if it is sound and square; otherwise it comes out and the opening is prepared.
- The old up-and-over panel, its springs or counterweights, tracks and arms are removed and taken away as part of the price.
- Clear width can improve slightly after a conversion, because there are no swing-out arms at the sides of the opening.
- We check the lintel and reveals at the survey, and price a new lintel or building out the reveals before you agree.

Rules that apply in Birmingham
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 Birmingham: questions
How much does up-and-over to roller door conversion cost in Birmingham?
Our guide price for up-and-over to roller door conversion is from £1,195 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Birmingham as elsewhere we cover.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Birmingham?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, 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.
Is the survey in Birmingham 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.
Do you cover Birmingham?
Yes. Birmingham is part of the area we cover in the West Midlands, including B3, B2 and B4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
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.
