Roller Garage Doors
Roller garage doors are one of the most popular choices for homeowners across Lincolnshire. They work by rolling up into a compact drum above the opening, which means you lose virtually no ceiling space inside the garage. This makes them ideal if you use your garage for storage or as a workshop.
Every roller door we install comes with electric operation as standard. The insulated aluminium slats provide excellent thermal performance and a smooth, quiet action. Because the door rolls vertically, there is no forward swing onto your driveway, so you can park right up to the door.
Roller doors are available in a wide range of colours and finishes, including woodgrain effects. They suit most garage openings and are especially good where headroom is limited.

Sectional Garage Doors
Sectional garage doors are built from horizontal panels that rise vertically and then slide back along the ceiling on tracks. This design provides an outstanding seal against draughts, rain and dust, making them the best option for maximum insulation.
The multi-point locking system on sectional doors delivers very high security. Double-skinned steel panels with foam insulation cores keep your garage warm and quiet. If your garage is attached to your home, a sectional door can make a real difference to your energy bills.
We supply sectional doors in a huge range of designs, from contemporary smooth finishes to traditional panelled styles with windows. They are available in standard and made-to-measure sizes.

Side Hinged Garage Doors
Side hinged garage doors open outwards from a central or offset pivot, just like traditional barn doors. They are a practical choice if you use your garage frequently for pedestrian access, because you can open one leaf without disturbing the other.
These doors work well for garages that double as utility rooms, workshops or storage spaces where you need quick, easy access without waiting for an electric motor. That said, electric operators are available as an option if you prefer automated opening.
Side hinged doors are available in steel, timber and GRP (fibreglass). Steel versions offer the best value, while timber doors suit period properties. They require side clearance when opening, so they are best suited to garages that do not open directly onto a narrow path.

Up and Over Garage Doors
Up and over garage doors remain the most common type in the UK and offer the most affordable entry point. The single panel tilts outward and then slides up into the garage on a canopy or retractable mechanism.
They are available in a vast choice of designs and materials, including steel, timber and GRP. Steel up and over doors are the most budget-friendly option and come in dozens of panel designs and colours. If you are replacing an old door on a like-for-like basis, this is often the simplest and most cost-effective route.
Keep in mind that up and over doors swing outward as they open, so you need around 1.5 metres of clear driveway space in front of the door. Canopy-gear doors can be automated with a boom operator, though retractable-gear versions are better suited to automation.

Electric Garage Doors
Electric garage doors remove the effort of manual lifting and give you the convenience of remote-control operation. You can open and close your door from inside your car, which is especially welcome in bad weather or when arriving home after dark.
Most modern electric garage doors include safety features such as auto-reverse sensors and manual override in case of a power cut. Roller and sectional doors come with electric operation as standard, while up and over and side hinged doors can often be retrofitted with a motor.
We supply operators from leading manufacturers and handle all the electrical connections as part of the installation. Smartphone control is available on many systems, allowing you to open your door from anywhere using an app.

Insulated Garage Doors
Insulated garage doors use double-skinned construction with a foam core to minimise heat loss and reduce noise. If your garage is attached to your house, or if you use it as a gym, workshop or hobby room, insulation makes a significant difference to comfort and running costs.
Roller and sectional doors both offer excellent insulation as standard. The foam-filled slats or panels create an effective thermal barrier that keeps warmth in during winter and heat out during summer. Many homeowners notice an immediate improvement in the temperature of rooms above or next to the garage.
Insulated doors also tend to be quieter and more robust than single-skin alternatives. The additional weight and rigidity improves security and gives a more solid, premium feel when the door operates.

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.
