Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it usually cost to get a new garage door installed in Old Somerby?
The price depends on the size, style, and material you pick. Most jobs around Old Somerby fall between £850 and £2,500. Before we start, we’ll give you a clear quote so there are no surprises. If you need something bespoke for an older property or barn conversion, that can push the cost up a bit.
How long does it take to install a new garage door or upgrade my existing one with automation?
Usually, installations or automation upgrades take one or two days. We try to keep things running smoothly and around your schedule. Having worked in Old Somerby and nearby villages for over 15 years, we know how to get the job done without causing you too much hassle.
Do you work in nearby villages like Boothby Pagnell, Ropsley, Great Ponton, and Welby?
Yes, we cover all those places and more. Whether you’re in Old Somerby or just down the road, just give us a shout. We’re happy to come out and have a look or chat through what you need.
I live in a period cottage—can you install a modern automated garage door without spoiling the look?
That’s a question we get a lot. We offer garage doors that combine modern features with traditional styles—ideal for period homes or cottages. We’ll help you find something that fits your house without sticking out, and install it with care so it keeps the character of your home intact.
Will I need planning permission to install a new garage door or automation system in Old Somerby?
Most of the time, no planning permission is needed, especially if you’re swapping an old door for a new one. But if your house is listed or in a conservation area, like some parts of Old Somerby, there could be extra rules. We’ll work with you to make sure everything complies with local regulations.
What kind of warranty or guarantee do you offer on new garage doors and automation?
Our doors come with manufacturer warranties—usually at least five years. On top of that, we guarantee our workmanship. If something goes wrong during the warranty period, just get in touch and we’ll fix it.
How does the process work from first contact to having my new automated garage door ready?
First, we talk about what you need and arrange a visit to measure up. After checking your property, we send you a detailed quote. Once you’re happy with that, we set a convenient date for installation. After fitting, we test everything and show you how it works before we leave.
Can you automate my existing manual garage door, or do I have to replace it entirely?
Most of the time, we can fit an automation system to your current door. It depends on the door’s condition and type, which we’ll check during the site visit. If it’s not suitable, we’ll let you know and suggest the best option that won’t cost more than it needs to.

We recently had a new electric door fitted to replace a very old up and over type. From the initial enquiry to final installation the team have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. On the day of the installation the guys turned up promptly and completed the work with the utmost care and attention to detail. I would most definitely recommend them to anybody who is looking for a new garage door.

We are delighted with our new Roller Garage Door supplied by GDCG. The whole process has handled in a professional and friendly manner with relevant information and advice given but with no unwanted pressure. The home survey & visit to the Grantham site to view the product allowed us to confidentially place an order and the installation was on time and could not have gone more smoothly. We will certainly recommend GDCG to anyone looking for a quality Garage Door.

Fitting garage door motor
These guys are some of the best tradesmen I have ever used. Extremely polite and courteous they fitted the motor in a garage that does not have standard roofing beams utilising their experience and ability to resolve the issue. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

From start to finish the service TGDCG provided was spot on. Professional throughout, they listened to my requirements and recommended an ideal solution to replace my existing garage doors. They made my decision easy, having spoken to a number of other firms, as they beat everyone else on price, friendliness and product. Absolutely delighted with the new sectional doors, they look fantastic and work a treat, and it was nice to see the old metal doors and rotting frames all gone. I love working with companies like this, you can just tell everyone who works at TGDCG enjoys their work and values their colleagues.

The installers arrived when they said they would and worked quickly and efficiently. They were polite and courteous gentlemen who explained the workings of the doors, tidied up afterwards and left us feeling confident that an excellent job was done. I would recommend them every time.
