Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 4,530 properties around East Morton centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in East Morton, 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; found on houses of every age, even where only 9.9% of properties date from 1973 to 1999, because so many original doors were replaced with uPVC.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 23.0% of East Morton properties built since 2000, about 1,000 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, 18.8% of properties here or roughly 850.

When the homes were built
What the age of East Morton homes means for your front door
18.8% of the 4,530 properties around East Morton centre pre-date 1919 (below the 21% average) and 30.7% 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.
17.4% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 9.9% from 1973 to 1999: 27.3% together, about 1,200 homes, below the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 2,200 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.
23.0% of properties around East Morton centre have been built since 2000 (above the 17% average). Many of those roughly 1,000 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, 20.3% of properties in Bingley (2 miles away) and 43.9% in Keighley (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so East Morton has a share of period housing close to Bingley and less than Keighley. Since 2000 the figure is 23.0% here, 19.4% in Bingley and 5.1% in Keighley. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 27.3% here, 41.8% in Bingley and 30.9% in Keighley.
Who lives in East Morton, and what that changes
67.5% of the 4,349 households in East Morton live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns. Where one of these roughly 2,900 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 East Morton on the same visit.
80.9% of East Morton households own their home, above the 63% average, so if you are one of the roughly 3,500 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 East Morton
Because East Morton mixes 18.8% pre-1919 homes with 50.3% 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.
