    4.4 meters wide seems very big, so does £4000. I was looking for a more modest 2 meters and was quoted between £550 - £800.

    I would shop around if I were you!

    Best part of our extension was the roller shutter door.

    Talk to Gary - at Luton Garage Doors 01582 720573

    No connection with them, just as a satisfied customer.

    & expect to half that price, at a guess.Call them even if you're not too local.

    I had a Cardale Thermaglide http://www.tilt-a-dor.co.uk/insulated_roller_doors.htm 3.1 metre wide X 2.134 metres high for £1100 fitted.
    Ken Parry Garage Doors in Liverpool fitted mine, they gave me 25% discount from the brochure price and charged £140 fitting,another local place to me was offering 20% discount.
    I've got the Cardale brochure/price list here and for a Cardale Thermaglide up to 4.6 metre wide X 2.134 metre high is listed at £1976+vat then you would have your fitting costs (£140ish) As I say i got 25% discount off list so that works out after VAT & fitting at £1905.
    You need to find your local garage door dealer that sells Cardale doors and go from there. If you go to the Cardale website you can send off for a brochure and they will tell you your nearest dealer. https://www.cardale.com
    Anything else you need to know just ask ;)
