quoted £1300 for a garage door, fair price?

[Danez]

I've been quoted £1300 for a sectional, manual, Horman garage door. This includes fitting. This is for a single car garage too.
Does this sound about right? DIdn't realise how bloody dear garage doors can be.
It's from a reputable company(They have their own garage door showroom!) as I don't want any dodgey dealings.

I'm close to going through with it but I just wanted a second opinion.

£800 for the door, £500 for a pair of chaps to come and fit doesn't look off the scale. Does that include VAT, taking away the old door etc?

Cheers for the reply

Yeah it does, includes the job lot

I think I'd be happy with that. I fitted a pair of doors with a friend doing a house build a few years ago, and it was distinctly non-trivial.

Last one I had fitted was done by a guy on his own. Took him half a day tops. Not sure on the cost as someone else's insurance paid for it.

Sounds about right to me.

Think we paid just shy of £1200 for a roller door in anthracite with matching frame. This included removal an disposal of the old one.

I would want to keep it as one company. Pays your money and its all done in a day.

Think ours has been in place for about a year now. Very pleased with it

We used Rolla Door. Recommended by someone on here I think. Decent service and installation. Key fobs look a bit cheao though and far from classy.

I recently paid around £1400 for a insulated roller door, custom size, fitted with two remotes if that helps.

[joestifff]

Was quoted £1,050 for single insulated door from Autoroll, think they are fairly highly regarded on here.

£300 of that is fitting, I am not sure if that is a good deal or not, seems an awful lot for couple of hours work, but then, they're the pros. It would probably take me a full weekend and get it wrong!

How handy are you with a 10mm ratchet spanner and an sds still?

Hormann are one of the better brands, the door should come all done apart from removing transit bolts and fitting 3 brackets each side and fixing to your reveals.

Of course you might need to cloak any gaps around the frame and then there’s the removal of the old one. (This is a big factor to have a firm do the whole lot.)

Not a hard job to do one man but a mate to help lift is even better, single doors weigh 70kg all in.

Have door delivered, find local carpenter to fit it for a lot less than £500!

[anonymous-user]

£1100 got me a new remote controlled rolling door fitted, and removal of old door.

sectional are more expensive, but I personslly think thats a lot for a manual door

[philcray]

Sounds a bit pricey for a manual door, I would definitely shop around.

Not that relevant perhaps but I have just fitted a 5,5m Teckentrup automatic door with 4 remote controls, this cost £2700 fitted inc vat.

Think yourself lucky you're not wanting a front door to match then. I had a customer wanting a Hormann house door and it was £2k+ for us to buy, before fitting.
