Average Garage Door Prices
The cost of a garage door depends largely on the type of door you choose. Some designs are more complex to manufacture or install than others.
Typical price ranges are:
Up and Over Garage Doors
These are one of the most traditional styles of garage door.
Typical price range:
£700 – £1,400 installed
They are simple, reliable and often the most cost-effective option for many homes.
Sectional Garage Doors
Sectional doors open vertically and slide along tracks inside the garage.
Typical price range:
£1,400 – £3,000 installed
They are popular because they:
- maximise driveway space
- provide excellent insulation
- offer modern designs and finishes.
Roller Garage Doors
Roller doors open vertically and roll into a compact box above the opening.
Typical price range:
£1,300 – £2,800 installed
Benefits include:
- smooth electric operation
- space-saving design
- strong security features.
Electric Garage Doors
Many homeowners now choose automated garage doors for convenience.
Adding electric operation typically increases the cost by:
£300 – £800 depending on the system
However, the convenience of opening your garage door from inside your car makes it a worthwhile upgrade for many households.
What Affects Garage Door Installation Costs?
Several factors can influence the total cost of installing a garage door.
Door Size
Larger openings require bigger doors and stronger mechanisms, which naturally increases the price.
Material
Garage doors are commonly made from:
- Steel
- Aluminium
- Timber
- Insulated composite panels
Insulated doors are typically more expensive but improve energy efficiency and reduce noise.
Additional Building Work
In some situations, structural work may be needed before installation.
For example:
- fitting an RSJ to widen the opening
- brickwork alterations
- replacing old frames or tracks.
Unlike many installers, we can carry out any necessary building work as part of the installation, which often saves homeowners the hassle of coordinating multiple trades.
Is It Worth Replacing an Old Garage Door?
Many older garage doors become difficult to open, insecure or simply look dated.
Replacing your garage door can provide several benefits:
Improved Security
Modern garage doors include advanced locking systems and stronger construction.
Better Insulation
Insulated garage doors help reduce heat loss, especially if your garage is attached to the house.
Enhanced Kerb Appeal
A new garage door can dramatically improve the appearance of your property.
Easier Operation
Electric doors or modern mechanisms make opening and closing effortless.
