What moves the price
- Type of door — sectional and roller doors cost more than a basic up-and-over door, and a double door costs more again.
- Materials used — steel, timber and insulated garage doors differ in price before fitting starts.
- Complexity of the installation — a non-standard opening needs a made-to-measure garage door and more fitting time.
- Condition of the existing structure — a rotten or uneven frame needs repairing before the new garage door can be fixed.
- Removing the old door — taking down and disposing of an old garage door adds labour to the fitting.
- Automation or structural modifications — an automated garage door needs power and extra fitting time.
