About These Prices
The garage door installation prices above were sourced in April 2022 and an average of the prices supplied to us from 6 installers from various locations around the UK and they include:
- Removal and disposal of the existing garage door.
- Supply and install the new garage door.
- New frame installed.
- Basic electric operator for electric systems.
- Standard colour.

We haven’t included prices for GRP (fibreglass) doors but they are typically slightly more expensive than steel (as of 2022) but much cheaper than timber. Consider a GRP door if you want a door that’s lighter.
Optional Extras You May Want
External manual override – If there is a power failure, will you be able to gain access to the garage? This option is included as standard on some garage doors, while for others it’s an optional extra. You can gain entry manually, even with power loss to the electric unit. Expect to pay a minimum of £100 for this feature
Colours – Our garage guide price includes standard colours, non-standard colours will cost more. Woodgrain effect colours, will cost several hundred pounds more. As an example; for a single garage door the difference between a white door and a Rosewood laminate door is £200.
Wired buttons – Most electric doors will come with two wireless key fobs. Having an entry button wired to the inside of the garage or inside the house will cost extra, usually around £125 extra.
Keypad entry button – These are for people who want to gain frequent access to the garage without carrying a key fob on their person all the time. An entry code is used to open the door. These vary in price but start at around £150 supplied and fitted.
Safety Sensor – This sensor will detect anything preventing the door from closing and will return the door to the open position. Without this option, the key fob button needs to be pressed continuously to close the door. With the sensor installed, your key fob will allow you to close the door safely with just one touch. They cost around £150.
Extra Insulation – The prices on this page are for uninsulated panels. Insulated panels cost an extra £200 – £300 for a single door and £400 – £600 for a double door.
Frame upgrades – ultra-slim or non-standard frames will cost more.
