What moves the price
Size and weight. Every figure here scales with the area of the opening. A 6 x 5.5 m door has nearly three times the curtain of a 3 x 3.5 m one, and needs a heavier barrel, bigger springs and a three-phase operator.
Insulation and wind. Insulated laths add roughly half again to the curtain on a shutter. Exposed sites need a higher wind class, which means stronger guides, wind locks or thicker panels.
How the door is used. A door cycling a few times a day can use a standard operator; a busy dock needs longer-life springs and a heavier-duty drive, and a door used hundreds of times a day is better as a high-speed door.
The site. Steelwork to fix to, scaffolding or platforms for high openings, a new three-phase supply, removing old doors, and working nights or weekends around a live operation all add cost.
How prices were built. Roller shutter and repair figures come from UK installer and trade price guides published between June and September 2026; sectional door figures from a manufacturer's March 2026 guide and a January 2026 UK logistics article; fire shutters from a 2026 installer article and a January 2024 supply list; dock levellers from a UK dock specialist. High-speed doors and some loading bay items are rarely priced publicly in the UK, so those ranges also draw on a 2026 North American planning guide converted at about 0.75 and are flagged as budget figures. The calculator scales each type by opening area.
