Garage Doors

[Triumph66]

I am toying with the idea of having a bespoked garage door for my workshop. The original garage door was removed by the previous owner to create a hobby room in the garage. I am thinking of retaining the side UPVC door and install a roll up garage door if possible. Any suggestions of a good company to use and what sort of figures are we looking at roughly

Thanks

I had two Hormann sectional doors fitted last year. They were produced to fit two different openings. They seem pretty good, but they don’t get much use and the garages are not heated, so don’t know how well insulated they are.

You can pay anything from £600 to £2000 for a single. That would be a cheap diy installation at the bottom end and a professional upmarket design at the top. We've just had a https://www.thermosecure.co.uk/ supplied by a local fitting company. Very good all round but at the top end

I used Garrola last year for my garage. £895 supplied and fitted, basic white no frills electric.
The fitter was excellent, really neat job.

Would say though that roller doors like these are fairly easy to cut through. If you want or need higher security then you need to go down the route of commercial steel roller shutters, which are much more expensive.

Are you talking of retaining the door in the picture? - The garage door would be very narrow. It's possible to have a pedestrian door in the garage door called a wicket door

I had BiFolds installed (aluminium frames double glazed), you can have flush and raised cill units depending on what you want them for. I bought them for Northwich Glass and they installed them. They worked out cheaper than a single or a double garage door!

Assuming a single roller garage door in place of the door + window and feather edge clad timber in your photo.
I splashed out on a seceuroglide electric a few months ago.
Price was £2300 supplied and fitted. They are one of the more secure of these domestic types. Insurance approved, aluminium slats, insulation filled, a good range of RAL colours.
There are fitters across the country and I got two quotes which were only £100 different, and about 2/3 the price a friend paid for an otherwise identical seceuroglide double roller.

Factors that mattered were how the top box would fit between flat roof joists for max opening height and whether to fit the guide tracks between the brick or behind the brick of the opening for best access.
