How Much Does a Garage Door Cost in 2026?

· Updated · 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 single garage door typically costs £850 to £4,000 supplied and fitted in 2026, including VAT. Real timber doors sit above that range, starting at £6,000 fitted. Our own fitted prices start at £1,000 for an up-and-over, £1,500 for a side-hinged pair, £1,800 for an insulated electric roller and £2,000 for an insulated sectional. Adding electric operation to a new manual door typically adds £400 to £700. The final price depends on the door type, material, size of the opening and finish.

Door type (single)Our fitted price fromTypical fitted range
Up-and-over (steel, manual)£1,000£850 to £1,900
Side-hinged (steel pair)£1,500£1,350 to £4,000
Roller (electric, insulated)£1,800£1,450 to £3,200

Single door, supplied and fitted, including VAT. Typical ranges run from a budget specification to premium finishes, as set out in our July 2026 price guide. Double doors add roughly 40 to 80 per cent.

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 doors across Berkshire and the surrounding areas. For the full breakdown, including what each extra adds in pounds, see our 2026 garage door price guide.

Up and Over Garage Doors, From £1,000

Up-and-over doors remain the most affordable option. Across the market, a basic single-skin steel up-and-over costs £850 to £1,400 supplied and fitted, and ours start at £1,000. Purpose-made sizes, premium panel designs (such as the Garador Salisbury) and timber-effect finishes typically bring the price to between £1,400 and £1,900. Adding electric operation to a new door typically adds £400 to £700.

Roller Garage Doors, From £1,800

Our insulated roller garage doors start at £1,800 supplied and fitted. Roller doors are electrically operated as standard, so the motor cost is included. Across the market, quality insulated single rollers run £1,800 to £3,200 fitted; premium colours, larger widths and enhanced insulation (77mm slats vs 55mm) push the price towards the top of that range.

Sectional Garage Doors, From £2,000

Sectional doors are the most popular premium option. Our standard single-width insulated sectional starts at £2,000 supplied and fitted, and with an operator an automated insulated sectional starts from around £2,600. Across the market a single insulated sectional runs £1,650 to £2,800 depending on design, with glazed versions at £2,300 to £3,200. High-end brands like Ryterna and Hörmann sit at the upper end.

Side Hinged Garage Doors, From £1,500

Side-hinged doors cover a wide price range. Our steel pairs start at £1,500 supplied and fitted, against a market range of £1,350 to £1,900 for single-skin steel pairs. Insulated double-skin doors run £2,800 to £3,500, and timber-effect or premium designs £3,200 to £4,000. Real timber side-hinged doors from manufacturers like Fort Doors and Garador start at £6,000 fitted.

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: a double door adds roughly 40 to 80 per cent, and purpose-made sizes add to the cost
  • Insulation: typically £700 or more over a comparable single-skin door
  • Colour and finish: a non-standard RAL colour adds £100 to £200 on a single door, and woodgrain or laminate finishes £200 to £500
  • Electric operation: adds £400 to £700 on a new manual door where it is not included as standard
  • Old door removal: usually included in our quotes at no extra charge

If you would rather see the figure build as you choose, design your garage door and the designer itemises a guide price for each option. And if your current door is sound but faulty, a repair may be the cheaper answer: most cost £80 to £350, as our garage door repair costs guide explains.
