Front Door Spraying in Hemsworth: The Short Answer
We respray front doors in Hemsworth on site from £200 for a standard uPVC or composite door, usually in one day; Hemsworth is 21 miles by road (about 35 minutes) from our workshop in Sheepscar, Leeds.
Hemsworth has a mixed housing stock, 16.3% of its 5,580 properties pre-1919, 14.5% from 1973 to 1999 and 23.5% since 2000, so timber, uPVC and composite doors are all common and we bring the primer for each; 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 5,580 properties around Hemsworth centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Hemsworth, 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 14.5% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 810 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 23.5% of Hemsworth properties built since 2000, about 1,300 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, 16.3% of properties here or roughly 910.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Hemsworth homes means for your front door
16.3% of the 5,580 properties around Hemsworth centre pre-date 1919 (below the 21% average) and 14.0% were built between the wars. On those roughly 1,700 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
31.5% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 14.5% from 1973 to 1999, 46.0% together, close to the 45% average. Doors on those roughly 2,600 homes were very often replaced with white uPVC in the 1980s and 1990s, and white uPVC of that age tends to yellow, chalk or dull.
23.5% of properties around Hemsworth centre have been built since 2000 (above the 17% average). Many of those roughly 1,300 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, 10.8% of properties in Brierley (2 miles away) and 17.5% in South Elmsall (3 miles) pre-date 1919, so Hemsworth has a share of period housing more than Brierley and close to South Elmsall. Since 2000 the figure is 23.5% here, 27.6% in Brierley and 16.3% in South Elmsall. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 46.0% here, 42.5% in Brierley and 47.7% in South Elmsall.
Who lives in Hemsworth, and what that changes
70.7% of the 5,197 households in Hemsworth live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns. Where one of these roughly 3,700 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 Hemsworth on the same visit.
23.9% of homes here, about 1,200, 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 Hemsworth
Because Hemsworth mixes 16.3% pre-1919 homes with 69.5% 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).
