Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 4,930 properties around Chapeltown centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Chapeltown, uPVC first; GRP and steel doors, frames and side panels get their own primers, and handles and letterboxes come off rather than being masked.

- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 12.2% of Chapeltown properties built since 2000, about 600 homes.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Chapeltown homes means for your front door
15.2% of the 4,930 properties around Chapeltown centre pre-date 1919 (below the 21% average) and 10.1% were built between the wars. On those roughly 1,200 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
31.2% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 30.0% from 1973 to 1999, 61.2% together, above the 45% average. Doors on those roughly 3,000 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.
12.2% of properties, about 600, 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, 19.8% of properties in Hoyland (3 miles away) and 13.2% in Worsbrough (5 miles) pre-date 1919, so Chapeltown has a share of period housing less than Hoyland and close to Worsbrough. Since 2000 the figure is 12.2% here, 13.7% in Hoyland and 13.8% in Worsbrough. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 61.2% here, 44.3% in Hoyland and 48.4% in Worsbrough.
Who lives in Chapeltown, and what that changes
76.7% of the 4,795 households in Chapeltown live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns. Where one of these roughly 3,700 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 Chapeltown on the same visit.
83.0% of Chapeltown households own their home, above the 63% average, so if you are one of the roughly 4,000 owner-occupiers planning to stay, it pays to spray the frame at the same time (from £80 to £120) so the whole entrance ages evenly.
Choosing a door colour for Chapeltown
73.4% of Chapeltown 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 Chapeltown can be done in the same visit so the colours line up.
