What effects the price of a Garage Door?
The price of a garage door varies based on a number of different factors. These include:
- The type of your garage door
- The size
- The mechanism being used for your garage door
- Whether or not you are opting for an electric opening
- Whether or not you are insulating your garage door
- Removing your old garage door
- Installation
Here at Wolf Doors, all our garage door quotes include installation and VAT.
(Note, although not all garage doors can be insulated, all garage doors can feature electric opening mechanisms).
How much does your typical Garage Door cost?

It’s important to note that these figures are just average estimates. Furthermore, this won’t be the total cost of your new garage door. You’ll need to consider a number of other factors, which we’ve outlined in more detail below.
In many cases, a company will display a price for the garage door, but this price will only represent the cost of the door itself. You will need to double check whether or not it includes installation and VAT.
At Wolf Doors, the prices that we list for our garage doors include installation and VAT. It’s all part of our commitment to providing a trusted, reliable service.
Electric Garage Doors
All garage doors can be made to feature an electric opening mechanism.
Electric openings are an optional extra for garage doors, and an alternative to manually opened garage doors. These allow you to open the door electronically, typically using a remote control.
While it represents an extra cost, this feature is a great way to improve the usability of your new door.
The cost of electric opening options will vary based on:
- Your chosen operating device / system
- The cost of installation (for the supplier you’ve chosen)
- Any other electronic accessories that you’d like to add
Removal of the old garage door
Another point to remember is the cost of removing the old garage door.
The cost of removal will vary, based on the installation costs quoted by the supplier you have chosen, and the type of garage door that needs to be removed.
It will also depend on whether you would like your supplier to dispose of the garage door for you, too.
Installation
Equally, the cost of installation isn’t always included in the price that companies show for their garage doors.
According to Checkatrade, typical installation costs for professional garage door specialists installing a new garage door are between £350 – £650.
Here at Wolf Doors, all our garage door quotes include installation and VAT.
To get a more accurate estimate of this price, you’ll need to speak to your garage door supplier, and get a quote from them.
Delivery
Delivery costs are another commonly forgotten cost, as they aren’t usually included in the product price of a new garage door.
As with installation and removal, delivery costs will vary based on the garage door supplier that you choose.
VAT
In some cases, garage door companies may show a price for the garage door itself, but not include VAT in the price advertised.
Standard VAT is 20%. So if a garage door price does not include VAT, it can represent a significant unexpected final price.
With Wolf Doors, you can feel at ease, knowing our prices always include VAT.
