How much does it cost to automate a garage door?
The short answer
The longer answer
The two operators we fit most are Hörmann's ProMatic (around £550 to £750 installed — the value pick) and the SupraMatic (around £850 — quieter and faster, with BlueSecur app control available). Which one suits you depends mostly on door size and how often you use it.
What it takes differs by door type: rollers are electric by default, sectionals automate naturally, up-and-overs need retractable gear, and side-hinged pairs take dedicated leaf gear at around £800. The automated electric garage doors page covers operators, safety edges and smart control in full.
