Garage door

Can anyone recommend a cheap place to buy a 7ft X 7ft garage door, I've had a look on B&Q website and they seem cheaper for that than screwfix even with delviery but I'm still hoping to whittle it down further than £274. I don't want the very cheapest straight lines across one (i'd like a change!!), looking for something with a bit of detail like panels on, would idealy like white door. Thanks!!

The large merchants can & do undercut B & Q these days.
Try Jewson/Graham builders merchants. Tell them you're employed as a plumber/electrician etc for one of their suppliers and can they give you some discount?
I used to work for the firm that they bought their drainage products from (co-incidentally another division also made Henderson Garage Doors!) and have used this method several times.
I kid you not, I was once buying solid brass quality door furniture from Jewsons and stood behind a well-dressed woman who, amongst other items, was buying exactly the same door handle set as me. She paid £24 + vat, and I got mine for £11 + vat.
Another tip - go in jeans and tee-shirt (borrow one with some form of company logo if possible), stick a pencil behind your ear, clip a Stanley 3m tape measure to your belt, and make sure you're covered in sawdust for that real "trade-effect"!!

I'll give it a go - husband in the building trade - but even when we used to have an account with them they never knocked the prices down! Perhaps I will be more forceful/persuasive!0

Have a look at Wickes.
From 24th January to 13th March 7ft X 7ft Georgian style garage doors are £229
Good luck0 -
have seen this sort of thing new in those local free ad papers - people will often sell them cheap cos they take up room - maybe they bought the wrong size or moved?R0
