· By Richard, owner & installer, Wolverine Garage Doors

A realistic breakdown of garage door prices in 2026, from budget up-and-overs to premium insulated sectionals, including fitting costs.

A new garage door fitted in 2026 typically costs between £920 and £4,000. As a guide: up-and-over doors start from around £920, side-hinged from £1,280, insulated roller from £1,450, and insulated sectional from £1,850. Electric operation adds roughly £380 to £500 where it is not already included. The final price depends on the door type, material, size of the opening and finish.

Indicative 2026 prices for a single-width door, supplied and fitted across the Thames Valley. Electric operation adds roughly £380 to £500 where not already included.

The honest answer is that the right figure depends on the type of door, the material, the size of the opening, and whether you want electric operation. Below we set out realistic price ranges for 2026 based on our experience fitting hundreds of doors each year across Berkshire and the surrounding areas.

Up and Over Garage Doors, From Around £920

Up-and-over doors remain the most affordable option. A standard single-width steel canopy door, supplied and fitted, starts from around £920. Purpose-made sizes, premium panel designs (such as the Garador Salisbury) and woodgrain finishes add to the cost, typically bringing the price to between £1,100 and £1,500. Adding electric operation is usually an additional £380-£500.

Roller Garage Doors, From Around £1,450

Insulated roller garage doors start from approximately £1,450 supplied and fitted. Roller doors are always electrically operated, so the motor cost is included. Premium colours, larger widths and enhanced insulation (77mm slats vs 55mm) can push the price towards £2,000-£2,500 for a single door.

Sectional Garage Doors, From Around £1,850

Sectional doors are the most popular premium option. A standard single-width insulated sectional, supplied and fitted with electric operation, starts from around £1,850. Woodgrain finishes, glazed panels, RAL colour matching and larger sizes will bring the cost up to between £2,500 and £4,000. High-end brands like Ryterna and Hormann sit at the upper end.

Side Hinged Garage Doors, From Around £1,280

Side-hinged doors cover a wide price range. A basic steel pair starts from about £1,280 supplied and fitted. Insulated side-hinged doors with woodgrain finishes or bespoke colours range from £1,800 to £3,000. Real timber side-hinged doors from manufacturers like Fort Doors and Garador can exceed £3,500.

What Affects the Price?

The main factors are:

  • Door type and mechanism sectional and side-hinged tend to cost more than up-and-over
  • Material timber costs more than steel, GRP sits in between
  • Size non-standard or purpose-made sizes add to the cost
  • Colour and finish RAL colour matching and woodgrain foils cost more than standard colours
  • Electric operation adds £380-£500 if not included as standard
  • Old door removal usually included in our quotes at no extra charge
