What influences new garage door prices?
The type of garage door
Garage door prices vary depending on the type and style of door for sale, with different designs impacting the final cost. Generally, the cost of electric garage doors is typically higher than manual garage doors.
The three main types of electric garage doors include up-and-over, roller and sectional. The table below shows the average cost range for each type:
| Electric Garage Door Type | Average Cost (UK) |
| Up & Over | £1,200 - £2,000 |
| Roller | £1,400 - £2,600 (but Garolla prices start at £995) |
| Sectional | £1,800 - £3,200 |
- ⚠️ Installation alone can cost £350–£750 if not included in the price - always check before you buy
✅ Just so you're aware, all Garolla prices include FREE fitting
While up-and-over doors are one of the cheapest options, they require a good amount of clearance space to open. This can reduce usable garage space, and all the possibilities that come with that.
Sectional garage doors remove the need for clearance space by lifting up and over the garage opening in sections. This also allows them to be more secure and better insulated – though they require additional overhead space.
Roller garage doors, like ours at Garolla, save even more space by rolling up compactly above the garage opening. They're robust and well-insulated, providing protection from the elements and opportunistic thieves.
Considering both price and performance, we believe roller garage doors provide the most value for your money. At Garolla, we specialise in supplying and fitting high-quality electric roller garage doors at an affordable cost, so you get the best your money can buy without all the guesswork.
Material choice
The price of garage doors also depends on the materials used to make them, and there's a range of options. Steel doors are a highly durable choice, standing up well to bumps, scrapes and impacts. Wooden garage doors provide that classic aesthetic that many people love, but come at a premium due to the craftsmanship involved. Both are heavy choices that involve a level of upkeep to stay in prime condition, too.
While a little more susceptible to dents and impacts, aluminium garage doors offer a strong combination of strength, practicality and affordability. They're also naturally rust- and corrosion-resistant to minimise damage and maintenance needs. Garolla garage doors are made from twin-walled aluminium slats, with a high-density polyurethane foam core, ensuring you get a high-quality, reliable solution without overspending.
Dimensions
Size and dimensions also influence the cost of a new garage door. Larger doors, or double garage door setups, will cost more than smaller or single garage door replacements. At Garolla, we make getting a tailored solution simple. After your local Garolla Installer takes measurements on a free survey visit, they'll provide you with clear, upfront garage roller door prices so you know exactly how much you’ll pay.
Security features and controls
New garage door prices also depend on the security and control features included in the design. Higher density insulation foam, stronger guide rails and security-accredited design usually come at a price. Higher-spec control systems and motors may also add to the cost of garage doors.
The range of Garolla roller garage doors includes different products with different features. Transform features a hold-to-run remote and standard insulation, while Transform Pro offers 50% higher density insulation foam and a one-touch remote control for easier operation. Titan offers a Secured by Design-accredited design and deeper guide rails for superior strength and security.
Fitting costs
Professional fitting is key to the longevity and performance of your new garage door. Labour costs can range from £350 to £750 depending on where you live and how complex the installation job is – and this may or may not be included in the price that's advertised. To make the whole process simple and transparent, Garolla includes FREE fitting with every garage door purchase. Our expert local Installers will come to you and fit your new garage door at no extra cost.

Is an electric roller garage door worth the price?
We'd argue so. The right electric garage door offers substantial benefits that justify the costs, including:
- Security you can trust: With a new and secure garage door, you gain reassurance knowing your property and possessions are well protected. Garolla garage doors feature motorised locking systems for added security without the need for visible locks and handles. In some cases, added security can also result in cheaper home insurance.
- More space, more possibilities: Thanks to an integrated rolling mechanism, Garolla garage doors can free up as much as 25% extra space compared to up-and-over models, helping you make the most of every inch.
- Energy bill savings: Our roller garage doors are engineered from interlinked twin-walled aluminium slats filled with high-density polyurethane foam. This design helps trap heat in winter and keep things cool in summer, potentially saving you a little bit on your energy bills.
- Smart look, added value: First impressions matter. A sleek, modern garage door can easily boost your home's kerb appeal and resale value. With a range of colours and finishes to choose from, it's easy to find the perfect fit.
And with Garolla, you're buying more than just the door. You also get expert guidance and installation, straightforward pricing, and a five-year warranty at no extra cost.
