Finding a garage door in the right style and size has never been easier than with B&Q's great range of home delivered garage doors. Our handy buying guide will talk you through the best options for you and your home.
Reliable and easy-to-use, our retractable garage doors can be remotely opened and closed from the comfort of your car. Choose from a range of different styles and colour finishes to suit your taste.
How It Works
The retractable gear allows the door to be retracted fully inside the garage when open, by means of horizontal overhead tracks supported by wall or ceiling mounted suspension brackets.

Our large range of canopy garage doors are all available in a wide variety of colours, sizes and styles to suit all tastes.
How It Works
The canopy gear allows the door to travel in vertical tracks and is counterbalanced by an overhead torsion spring. In the open position, the door projects from the opening approximately one third of the door height, forming a canopy.

Roller Doors roll up vertically into a compact coil. This type of door covers an area slightly larger than the opening and sits behind on runners, ideal for unusually shaped openings, and even archways.
An ideal solution for people who want to gain extra space in their garage, roller doors only need a relatively small amount of head room space. Roller doors open vertically so you can park your car up close to the garage door, while push button automation makes it so easy to open and close your garage door.
When measuring for a new garage door, remember you need much more than your door panel itself. All brand new up and over garage doors require a fixing sub frame for installation so make sure you consider when measuring, order or installing. If you're fitting a new door to an existing frame, there's no need to buy a new one.
Measure the height
Measure from the top of the existing height, from the lintel to the floor and on the left and right to allow for any variations in size.
Measure the width
Measure the existing width, brick to brick, repeating at the top, middle and bottom for any variations in size
Measure the headroom
Measure from the bottom of the lintel up to the roof.
Measure the side room
Measure from the existing frame out to the edge of the wall.
Make a note of obstructions
Take note of light switches, windows or doors that might affect the garage door.
