How This Calculator Works
This calculator combines your door type with an operation multiplier (manual vs automated) and real 2026 UK supply-and-fit pricing, then applies a regional labour multiplier.
Door Base Prices (supply + fit)
- Up-and-over ~£1,200 (single, steel / GRP)
- Sectional ~£1,500 (insulated panels)
- Roller (insulated) ~£1,850 (compact roll-up)
- Side-hinged ~£1,400
- Operation: manual ×1.00 · electric / automated ×1.40
Includes removal of the old door and standard fitting. Automated adds a motor and two remotes.
Regional Multipliers
- London 1.25× · South East 1.12×
- Midlands & East 1.00× (baseline)
- South West & Wales 0.95×
- North & Scotland 0.90×
Low/high reflect a ±15% spread around the mid estimate. A real quote follows a site survey.

What drives the price of a new garage door
Two garage doors of the same width can be hundreds of pounds apart, and the door itself is only part of it. The biggest lever is the mechanism: a manual up-and-over is the cheapest thing you can hang, while a roller or sectional door with an insulated curtain and an electric motor sits at the top of the range. Insulation matters more than people expect — if the garage is attached to the house, heated, or used as a workshop or gym, a double-skinned sectional or roller door holds warmth and cuts noise, and that build quality carries a premium. Size is the other quiet cost: anything wider than a standard single or double opening is usually made to order, and a bespoke width can add a few hundred pounds on its own.
After the door, your quote turns on the opening itself. A sound, square frame that takes a like-for-like replacement is quick; a rotten timber frame, a bowed steel one, or brickwork and a new lintel all add labour and materials. Automation adds a motor, wiring and a fused spur, and if there is no power near the opening an electrician is a separate visit. Where you live shifts the labour rate too — London and the South East run well above the Midlands baseline. For the full picture on every door type read our garage door cost guide, and if you are weighing up whether to keep the garage for parking or turn it into a room, the garage conversion cost guide is worth a look before you spend on a new door. When you are ready for real numbers, compare vetted local fitters through our garage door installation hub.
