How Much Is a Garage Door?

A new garage door in the UK costs from £400 for a basic up-and-over to over £3,000 for an insulated electric sectional. The price depends on door type, material, size, and whether installation is included.

Garage door prices vary considerably depending on the door type, size, material, insulation level, and whether you are including installation. Understanding the price ranges for each type helps homeowners budget realistically for a replacement.


Up-and-Over Doors

Up-and-over doors are the most common type in UK homes and the most affordable. A non-insulated single-skin steel up-and-over door in a standard single-car width of around 2.1 metres typically costs £300 to £600 for the door alone, supply only. An insulated version with a foam-filled panel costs £500 to £900 supply only. Budget options from builders merchants start from around £250, though quality and longevity may be lower. Adding professional installation typically adds £200 to £400.


Roller Garage Doors

Roller doors coil up into a compact drum above the opening, maximising headroom inside the garage. A manually operated roller door costs £600 to £1,200 supply only. An electrically operated roller door with a built-in motor typically costs £1,000 to £2,000 supply only, with installation adding a further £300 to £500. Premium insulated roller doors from brands such as Hormann and Garador sit at the top of this range.


Sectional Doors

Sectional doors open vertically and fold back in sections parallel to the garage ceiling. They provide excellent insulation and a clean modern appearance. A standard electric sectional door costs £1,500 to £3,500 supply and install from a specialist. Side-room requirements and lintel height affect whether sectional doors are suitable for a given opening.


Side-Hinged Doors

Side-hinged garage doors open outward like a pair of conventional doors. They are popular for garages used as workshops or converted spaces. Supply-only costs typically range from £600 to £1,500 depending on material and insulation, with installation adding £200 to £400.

Getting like-for-like quotes from at least two or three suppliers is the most reliable way to establish the right price for a specific door. Ensure quotes include delivery, fixing hardware, and all necessary components. An unusually low quote may exclude the motor, fixings, or installation that a higher quote includes.


Summary

Up-and-over doors cost £300 to £900 supply only. Roller doors cost £600 to £2,000. Sectional doors cost £1,500 to £3,500 supply and install. Side-hinged doors cost £600 to £1,500 supply only. Add £200 to £500 for professional installation where not included. Compare like-for-like quotes and confirm what each includes before committing.
