How Much Is an Electric Garage Door?
An electric garage door costs from £900 to £3,500 supply and install depending on type. An electric up-and-over starts from £900; an electric roller from £1,200; an electric sectional from £1,800.Electric garage doors are now the most popular choice for new installations in the UK, offering the convenience of remote or keypad operation and the ability to open the door without leaving the car in wet weather. Prices vary significantly by door type, brand, and specification.
Electric Up-and-Over Doors
An up-and-over door can be motorised using a ceiling-mounted operator that connects to the door via a drive arm. The motor unit and installation cost £300 to £600 on top of the door itself. A complete supply-and-fit package for an electric up-and-over door typically costs £900 to £1,600. The canopy mechanism is more common for electric retrofit as the retractable mechanism is more compatible with operator installation in garages with limited headroom.
Electric Roller Doors
Electric roller doors have the motor integrated into the roll mechanism and are the most compact electric door type. Supply and installation costs range from £1,200 to £2,500 for a standard single-car width. Insulated electric roller doors at the premium end sit at £1,800 to £3,000.
Electric Sectional Doors
Sectional doors are almost always sold with electric operation as standard because the mechanism is integral to the door design. Supply and installation costs range from £1,500 to £3,500 for a standard single-car width, depending on insulation level, panel style, and brand.
What Is Included
A complete electric garage door installation should include the door panel, the electric operator, at least two remote controls, a wall push button inside the garage, an emergency manual release, and a safety reversal mechanism. Some suppliers also include a keypad for code entry from outside. Confirm that all of these are included in the quoted price.
The running cost of an electric garage door opener is very low. A typical opener uses 100 to 400 watts during operation, but each operation lasts only 15 to 30 seconds. Even with ten operations per day, the annual electricity consumption of a garage door opener is typically under £10 at current UK energy prices.
Summary
Electric up-and-over doors cost £900 to £1,600 supply and fit. Electric roller doors cost £1,200 to £2,500. Electric sectional doors cost £1,500 to £3,500. Confirm that remotes, wall button, emergency release, and safety reversal are included in quoted prices. Running costs are minimal at under £10 per year for typical usage.
