How this calculator works
Every figure in this calculator is the one published in the cost table on our doors by type guide. Pick the option that matches your job and the calculator returns that published range, adjusted for your region - it does not model anything the guide does not already say.
That is deliberate. A calculator whose rates drift from the page it sits under is worse than no calculator, because two numbers on the same site disagree.
What it cannot know: access, the condition of what is already there, and anything structural. Those are what separate three real quotes from each other.

The up-and-over is the cheapest garage door type, at £400–£900 supplied and fitted — and a like-for-like swap keeps it at the bottom of the range because the existing aperture is reused. Side-hinged doors are next at £600–£1,500, then rollers at £900–£2,200, with sectional doors the most expensive at £1,200–£3,500.
For most standard single garages the insulated electric roller is the best all-rounder: £1,200–£2,800 fitted with the operator usually bundled, no swing-out room needed, and it is the most popular single-garage upgrade in the UK. If the garage is attached to the house, heated or being converted, a sectional door (£1,200–£3,500) is usually better because it offers the best insulation of any type.
A roller saves the most space — it coils into a compact box, needs no swing-out room and suits short drives and tight headroom, at £900–£2,200 fitted with electric usually included. A sectional offers the best insulation, the most premium look and the widest range of finishes at £1,200–£3,500, plus £400–£700 for electric. For a standard single garage the insulated electric roller (£1,200–£2,800) is the popular all-rounder; for an attached garage or garage conversion the sectional is usually the better insulator.
An up-and-over garage door costs £400–£900 supplied and fitted for a single garage in Q3 2026, including removal of the old door. Electric operation adds £300–£600, and the retractable version (which runs fully back on tracks) automates more easily than the canopy version. A double up-and-over costs £1,400–£2,800 fitted.
