Front Doors

The cost varies depending on the type and size of the door. For example, the cheapest option from some providers starts at around £895 for a basic roller garage door, while more premium garage door models can go up to £1,495 or more. Added features, like automation, insulation, and security upgrades, will also impact the final price.​

While installing a garage door yourself might seem cost-effective, it can be challenging and potentially hazardous if not done correctly. Self-installation may also void manufacturer warranties. At Access Garage Doors, we recommend using our professional installation service; our experienced engineers will ensure your door is fitted correctly and safely. You’ll also receive warranty protection on both the garage door and the installation.

Sectional and roller garage doors are considered the most secure due to their construction and locking mechanisms. These doors typically include reinforced slats and built-in features like auto-locking and anti-lift mechanisms, making them difficult to force open. At Access Garage Doors, we also offer additional security upgrades such as strengthened guide rails, tamper-resistant locks, and advanced alarm systems.

No, electric garage doors are designed to be energy-efficient and consume very little electricity. On average, an electric garage door opener uses between 0.5 to 1.5 kWh per month, depending on the frequency of use. This translates to only a few pence added to your electricity bill each month. Many newer garage door models also feature low-power modes and standby settings to minimise energy consumption when not in use.

The installation time for a new garage door varies depending on the type of garage door and any preparatory work required. Typically, a standard roller garage door or up-and-over garage door takes 2 to 3 hours to install. Sectional garage doors, which have more complex mechanisms, may take up to 6 hours, while large double garage doors or bespoke installations can require a full day.

Sectional garage doors are the best choice when it comes to insulation, mainly thanks to their multi-layer construction and superior sealing capabilities. These garage doors are typically made from double-skinned steel panels filled with polyurethane foam, which provides excellent thermal efficiency. Insulated sectional garage doors, when installed and aligned correctly, can help maintain a comfortable temperature and reduce energy costs.

Yes, investing in a new garage door can significantly increase your property’s value. Studies show that homeowners recover 70-90% of the installation cost on average when selling their property. A new garage door can also make a strong impression on potential buyers, contributing to faster sales and a higher selling price.
