Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 8,400 properties around Hessle centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Hessle, 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 16.7% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 1,400 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 15.0% of Hessle 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, 13.7% of properties here or roughly 1,200.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Hessle homes means for your front door
Only 13.7% of the 8,400 properties around Hessle centre were built before 1919, against a 21% average. With just 1,200 or so homes of that age, original Victorian timber doors are the exception in Hessle.
Another 29.2% of properties, roughly 2,500, went up between the wars (well above the 16% average). Front doors of that era were often timber with glazed upper panels or leaded lights; where one survives, we mask the glass and spray the timber around it.
25.2% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 16.7% from 1973 to 1999: 41.9% together, about 3,500 homes, close to the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 3,600 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.
15.0% of properties, about 1,300, 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, 4.4% of properties in Anlaby (2 miles away) and 5.8% in Kirk Ella (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so Hessle has more period housing than either. Since 2000 the figure is 15.0% here, 11.1% in Anlaby and 12.0% in Kirk Ella. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 41.9% here, 55.8% in Anlaby and 57.8% in Kirk Ella.
Who lives in Hessle, and what that changes
Terraces house 37.8% of the 7,627 households here (above the 27% average). Those 2,900 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.
68.9% of households own their home and 17.8% 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 2,300 rented homes here may prefer one hard-wearing colour so touch-ups stay simple.
Choosing a door colour for Hessle
Because Hessle mixes 13.7% pre-1919 homes with 56.9% 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.
