Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new garage door installation usually cost around Skillington?
Prices depend on the style, size, and material you choose. Most jobs fall somewhere between £850 and £2,500. We’ll always give you a straightforward, no-pressure quote after checking out your property and what you want, so there are no surprises.
Can you install a new garage door on an older cottage or converted barn?
Yes, we’ve fitted doors on plenty of older buildings around here — cottages, barns, you name it. We know how important it is to keep the character of these homes, so we find solutions that look right and give you modern security and ease of use.
Do you cover areas like Woolsthorpe or Colsterworth for installations?
We cover Skillington and the nearby villages — Woolsthorpe, Stainby, Easton, Buckminster, Colsterworth, Sewstern, Gunby. If you’re close by, we’re happy to come out, have a look, and talk through your options.
Will I need planning permission to install a new garage door?
Usually, you won’t need planning permission if it’s a straightforward replacement. But if your home’s listed or in a conservation area, it’s best to check with the council first. We can help you figure that out before any work starts.
How long does it usually take to install a new garage door?
Most installations take a day. It depends a bit on the door and whether you want automation, but we work efficiently and make sure everything’s left clean and working perfectly before we finish.
Can I upgrade my existing garage door with an automatic opener?
Absolutely. We can fit an automatic opener onto most existing doors, making them easier to use and more secure. We’ll take a look at what you’ve got and recommend the best option for your setup.
What happens if there’s a problem with my new garage door after installation?
All our work comes with a solid warranty. If anything goes wrong during that time, just call us and we’ll get it sorted quickly.
Do you install garage doors on detached houses and newer builds too?
Yes, we install doors on all property types — detached houses, new builds, you name it. We make sure each door fits well and suits the look of your home.

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.
