Front Door Spraying in Hawes: The Short Answer
We respray front doors in Hawes on site from £200 for a standard uPVC or composite door, usually in one day; Hawes is 62 miles by road (about 1 hour 35 minutes) from our workshop in Sheepscar, Leeds.
56.8% of the 740 properties around Hawes centre were built before 1919, so we expect to meet original timber doors here as often as later uPVC or composite ones, and we spray all of them with HVLP equipment for a brush-free finish; see the full front door spraying service or our notes on spraying uPVC front doors.

Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 740 properties around Hawes centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Hawes, timber first; GRP and steel doors, frames and side panels get their own primers, and handles and letterboxes come off rather than being masked.
- 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, 56.8% of properties here or roughly 420.
- uPVC doors: sprayed with Kolorbond-certified coatings made to bond to uPVC and guaranteed for 10 years; the usual replacement door on the 20.3% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 150 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; only 6.8% of Hawes properties are post-2000, so here composites are mostly replacements, resprayed from £200 like uPVC.

When the homes were built
What the age of Hawes homes means for your front door
56.8% of the 740 properties around Hawes centre were built before 1919, well above the 21% average across the towns we cover. Those roughly 420 houses were built with solid timber panelled doors; some survive, and many have been swapped for uPVC or composite.
12.2% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 20.3% from 1973 to 1999: 32.5% together, about 240 homes, below the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 430 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.
Only 6.8% of properties here, about 50, have been built since 2000, so few Hawes doors are new-build composites; more often the door has already been replaced once, and we check its material before quoting.
For comparison, 53.6% of properties in Aysgarth (8 miles away) and 67.9% in Reeth (12 miles) pre-date 1919, so Hawes has a share of period housing close to Aysgarth and less than Reeth. Since 2000 the figure is 6.8% here, 16.4% in Aysgarth and 7.1% in Reeth. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 32.5% here, 30.0% in Aysgarth and 22.9% in Reeth.
Who lives in Hawes, and what that changes
65.2% of the 579 households in Hawes live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns, and with 56.8% of properties pre-dating 1919 many of them are older houses. On a period front the door is often the one painted surface on show, so a colour that sits with the stone or brick around it matters more than one that matches a modern garage.
74.5% of households own their home and 19.1% 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 150 rented homes here may prefer one hard-wearing colour so touch-ups stay simple.
Choosing a door colour for Hawes
Hawes is inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and 56.8% of its properties pre-date 1919, so traditional colours suit most fronts. On listed buildings or in a conservation area the National Park Authority may need to agree a colour change, so check before booking; our guide to front door colours for Yorkshire stone houses is a good starting point.
