Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 7,120 properties around Birstall centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Birstall, 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 24.2% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 1,700 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; only 9.7% of Birstall properties are post-2000, so here composites are mostly replacements, resprayed from £200 like uPVC.
- Timber and hardwood doors: grain filling, primer and topcoats for a smooth, brush-free face, from £250; original timber doors are most often found on pre-1919 houses, 19.0% of properties here or roughly 1,400.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Birstall homes means for your front door
19.0% of the 7,120 properties around Birstall centre pre-date 1919 (below the 21% average) and 11.7% were built between the wars. On those roughly 2,200 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
34.4% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 24.2% from 1973 to 1999, 58.6% together, above the 45% average. Doors on those roughly 4,200 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.
9.7% of properties, about 690, are post-2000, below the 17% average; on those a builder-fitted composite or GRP door is likely, and composite doors respray from £200.
For comparison, 21.1% of properties in Gomersal (1 miles away) and 13.7% in Drighlington (1 miles) pre-date 1919, so Birstall has a share of period housing close to Gomersal and more than Drighlington. Since 2000 the figure is 9.7% here, 13.9% in Gomersal and 23.4% in Drighlington. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 58.6% here, 44.2% in Gomersal and 51.5% in Drighlington.
Who lives in Birstall, and what that changes
Housing here is mixed: 23.5% detached, 40.2% semi-detached, 26.9% terraced and 9.4% flats across 6,946 households. With no single type above 40%, the door matters more to the price than the house does, so we quote once we have seen the door, the frame and any side panels.
71.1% of households own their home and 15.4% 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 2,000 rented homes here may prefer one hard-wearing colour so touch-ups stay simple.
Choosing a door colour for Birstall
68.3% of Birstall 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 Birstall can be done in the same visit so the colours line up.

Front Door Spraying Prices and Process
