Roller garage doors in Lincoln
Roller garage doors suit driveways in Lincoln where an up-and-over door would swing out into the space, because the curtain rolls straight up into a box.
When an up-and-over door in Lincoln is replaced, the old door and frame come out and the new roller door is fixed to the brickwork or a timber subframe.
We cover Lincoln and the LN1 postcode district as part of Lincolnshire; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. Gainsborough, Newark-on-Trent and Retford are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Rules that apply in Lincoln
In Lincoln, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Planning: Replacing a garage door is not usually a planning matter, but listed buildings and conditions on newer estates can restrict changes, so check if unsure.
- Safety devices: Powered doors need force limiting or a safety edge and must be set up and tested at installation. We hand over the instructions and a record of the settings.
- Power cut: Every powered door has a manual release so it can be opened by hand. If the garage is your only way into the house, ask about battery backup.

Frequently asked questions
Can a roller door replace my up-and-over door?
Yes. It fits the same opening, usually behind it on the inside, and gives you back the full width and the ceiling space.
Are roller garage doors insulated?
The doors we recommend use foam-filled aluminium laths, which reduce heat loss and noise compared with a single-skin steel up-and-over door.
