Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 5,510 properties around Cross Hills centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Cross Hills, 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 17.6% of Cross Hills properties built since 2000, about 970 homes.
- 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, 30.1% of properties here or roughly 1,700.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Cross Hills homes means for your front door
30.1% of the 5,510 properties around Cross Hills centre pre-date 1919 (above the 21% average) and 11.3% were built between the wars. On those roughly 2,300 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
25.2% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 16.5% from 1973 to 1999: 41.7% together, about 2,300 homes, close to the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 2,300 or so older homes here have had their doors replaced with uPVC as well, and a yellowed white uPVC door takes a Kolorbond-certified respray with a 10-year guarantee.
17.6% of properties, about 970, are post-2000, close to the 17% average; on those a builder-fitted composite or GRP door is likely, and composite doors respray from £200.
For comparison, 32.2% of properties in Sutton-in-Craven (1 miles away) and 26.0% in Steeton (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so Cross Hills has a share of period housing close to Sutton-in-Craven and more than Steeton. Since 2000 the figure is 17.6% here, 14.9% in Sutton-in-Craven and 25.5% in Steeton. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 41.7% here, 40.7% in Sutton-in-Craven and 40.2% in Steeton.
Who lives in Cross Hills, and what that changes
Terraces house 34.8% of the 5,228 households here (above the 27% average). Those 1,800 or so terraced front doors usually open onto the pavement or a short path, so we spray the door in place, screen the pavement side and mask the step, sill and brickwork around it.
75.1% of Cross Hills households own their home, above the 63% average, so if you are one of the roughly 3,900 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 Cross Hills
Because Cross Hills mixes 30.1% pre-1919 homes with 59.3% built after 1945, there is no single local colour, so hold our sample cards against your own brick or stone in daylight, or use our colour matching service to copy a shade from a photo or a neighbour's door.

Front Door Spraying Prices and Process
Spraying versus a new door
Our service page puts a new composite door at £800 to £2,500 supplied and fitted, and a new uPVC door at £600 to £1,500, against from £200 to respray, though replacement still makes sense when a door is warped, draughty or its locks are failing (our article on front door replacement versus spraying goes through the trade-offs).
