Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 7,990 properties around Goldthorpe centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Goldthorpe, composite 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 26.5% of Goldthorpe properties built since 2000, about 2,100 homes.
- 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 9.6% of properties date from 1973 to 1999, because so many original doors were replaced with 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, 17.8% of properties here or roughly 1,400.

When the homes were built
What the age of Goldthorpe homes means for your front door
17.8% of the 7,990 properties around Goldthorpe centre pre-date 1919 (below the 21% average) and 31.5% were built between the wars. On those roughly 3,900 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
14.1% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 9.6% from 1973 to 1999: 23.7% together, about 1,900 homes, below the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 3,900 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.
26.5% of properties around Goldthorpe centre have been built since 2000 (well above the 17% average). Many of those roughly 2,100 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, 18.8% of properties in Thurnscoe (1 miles away) and 20.9% in Bolton-upon-Dearne (1 miles) pre-date 1919, so Goldthorpe has a similar share of period housing. Since 2000 the figure is 26.5% here, 24.4% in Thurnscoe and 20.0% in Bolton-upon-Dearne. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 23.7% here, 27.4% in Thurnscoe and 41.2% in Bolton-upon-Dearne.
Who lives in Goldthorpe, and what that changes
Terraces house 33.5% of the 7,129 households here (above the 27% average). Those 2,400 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.
22.2% of homes here, about 1,600, are social rented. If your landlord is the council or a housing association, the door belongs to them, so ask for written permission before booking a colour change.
Choosing a door colour for Goldthorpe
50.2% of Goldthorpe 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 Goldthorpe can be done in the same visit so the colours line up.
