Replacing Garage Doors

[Powerkiter]

I have a detached double garage with two single garage doors. One of the garage doors is broken and needs to be replaced. I want to replace the two garage doors with a single one. There is a wooden post between the two garage doors, although it is not structural and there is a RSJ across the whole width of the opening.

There are two options, either roller type or panel type. The opening witdh is around 14 foot and the height around 7 foot (I can get the exact dimensions if needed).

I have just had a quote (I am going to get more) for £2,600 fully fitted for a panel door. I am told the roller door is a similar price. Both would be electrically operated. Does this sound about right price wise, I did think it was a touch expensive ? Would be interested to hear what others have paid for a similar size ? Any issues between panel or roller ?

Hoping to then get a classic car to go in the garage !

It sounds a bit pricey to me, I think mine was 10 x 6 and cost £1,500 fitted, although I seem to remember doors above 10' got more expensive.

I've just ordered a sectional hormann door (10ft x 7ft) with a matching Hormann personal door. This, fitted with two remote controls & a panel inside the garage has come in at £2312.

Cheers,

Edited to add I have the hormann price list at home if it helps...

I had a similar job done at my old house, I think the cost of the work and door came to £3000, that was a roller but not a very good one, went with SWS the next time.
I had the same done at the new place but with a big garage remodel so costs were a bit more this time.

I paid about £2200 very recently for a "Securoglide" roller door, insulated, remote operated.

Apparently these are the danglies.

There are cheaper options around but the guys I used answered the phone and turned up to quote, which was more than can be said for half a dozen other places I tried to get to take my money!

Ok looking at the hormann price list:

14 ft x 7 ft m rib sectional door in white is £1526. A coloured door is £2075

Automation with two transmitters is £471

Fitting I was quoted about £150

So you're looking at around £2150 + vat for a white door and that's before discounts

I'm waiting for a cardale door fitted to my new build (ish) garage. It is identical as you described OP, 7ft4 x 14ft6 something and having it just inside of the pillars - maximum width at a cost of maybe 6inches of depth. Wooden centre post (non structural) and rsj already in place.

£1950 for fully fitted, full insulated, white sectional panels, door is 10 year warranty, motor is 5 years, moving bits is 2 years etc etc all good stuff. Fitted in 3 weeks.

Was £1800 but we had a bathroom go wrong so had to delay ordering by 2 months, by which time prices has gone up. Guy was utterly brilliant when he came out, and really patient and non-pushy ,spent ages chatting with me over everything... All on a Saturday afternoon after they had technically closed.

They were elite garage doors Midlands.

Just accepted a quote for a 2550x 2050mm insulated & coloured Gliderol roller door with the optional timber surround. Total cost being £1827.00.
Price includes frame and £250 for fitting.
Thought it was a reasonable price for this area.
