Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 6,480 properties around Elland centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Elland, 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 14.0% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 910 homes.
- 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 Elland properties built since 2000, about 1,100 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, 33.0% of properties here or roughly 2,100.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Elland homes means for your front door
33.0% of the 6,480 properties around Elland centre pre-date 1919 (well above the 21% average) and 15.1% were built between the wars. On those roughly 3,100 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
20.1% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 14.0% from 1973 to 1999: 34.1% together, about 2,200 homes, below the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 3,100 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 1,100, 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, 33.6% of properties in Greetland (1 miles away) and 18.2% in Rastrick (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so Elland has a share of period housing close to Greetland and more than Rastrick. Since 2000 the figure is 17.6% here, 12.8% in Greetland and 12.5% in Rastrick. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 34.1% here, 39.6% in Greetland and 56.3% in Rastrick.
Who lives in Elland, and what that changes
20.3% of the 6,233 households here live in flats, above the 15% average, roughly 1,300 homes. A flat's own entrance door inside a block is often a fire door: we keep coating off the intumescent strips and smoke seals, and we need the freeholder or managing agent's agreement before changing a door that faces a shared landing or the street.
60.4% of households own their home and 22.9% 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 Elland
Because Elland mixes 33.0% pre-1919 homes with 51.7% 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).
