Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 7,090 properties around Armthorpe centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Armthorpe, uPVC first; GRP and steel doors, frames and side panels get their own primers, and handles and letterboxes come off rather than being masked.
- uPVC doors: sprayed with Kolorbond-certified coatings made to bond to uPVC and guaranteed for 10 years; the usual replacement door on the 22.6% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 1,600 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 20.5% of Armthorpe properties built since 2000, about 1,500 homes.
- Timber and hardwood doors: grain filling, primer and topcoats for a smooth, brush-free face, from £250; with only 0.1% of properties here pre-dating 1919, a timber door here is as likely to be a later replacement as an original.

When the homes were built
What the age of Armthorpe homes means for your front door
Only 0.1% of the 7,090 properties around Armthorpe centre were built before 1919, against a 21% average. With just 7 or so homes of that age, original Victorian timber doors are the exception in Armthorpe.
Another 17.8% of properties, roughly 1,300, went up between the wars (close to the 16% average). Front doors of that era were often timber with glazed upper panels or leaded lights; where one survives, we mask the glass and spray the timber around it.
38.8% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 22.6% from 1973 to 1999, 61.4% together, above the 45% average. Doors on those roughly 4,400 homes were very often replaced with white uPVC in the 1980s and 1990s, and white uPVC of that age tends to yellow, chalk or dull.
20.5% of properties around Armthorpe centre have been built since 2000 (above the 17% average). Many of those roughly 1,500 newer homes came with a composite, GRP or steel-faced door from the builder's range in the site colour; a respray means you are not stuck with that choice.
For comparison, 13.3% of properties in Doncaster (3 miles away) and 21.2% in Bentley (4 miles) pre-date 1919, so Armthorpe has less period housing than either. Since 2000 the figure is 20.5% here, 16.0% in Doncaster and 11.8% in Bentley. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 61.4% here, 50.1% in Doncaster and 44.4% in Bentley.
Who lives in Armthorpe, and what that changes
71.0% of the 6,531 households in Armthorpe live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns. Where one of these roughly 4,600 homes has a garage, the front door is often seen next to the garage door, so it is worth choosing both colours together; we can do the garage door in Armthorpe on the same visit.
62.1% of households own their home and 20.0% rent privately, against averages of 63% and 19%. If you own, it is worth spraying the frame at the same time, while landlords of the roughly 2,400 rented homes here may prefer one hard-wearing colour so touch-ups stay simple.
Choosing a door colour for Armthorpe
81.9% of Armthorpe properties were built after 1945, and on later brick and render anthracite grey (RAL 7016) and black are popular because they match modern grey windows; if yours are still white uPVC, uPVC window spraying in Armthorpe can be done in the same visit so the colours line up.
