Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 5,830 properties around Horbury centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Horbury, 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 21.4% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 1,200 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; only 8.6% of Horbury properties are post-2000, so here composites are mostly replacements, resprayed from £200 like 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, 23.2% of properties here or roughly 1,400.

When the homes were built
What the age of Horbury homes means for your front door
23.2% of the 5,830 properties around Horbury centre pre-date 1919 (close to the 21% average) and 13.9% were built between the wars. On those roughly 2,200 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
32.4% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 21.4% from 1973 to 1999, 53.8% together, above the 45% average. Doors on those roughly 3,100 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.
8.6% of properties, about 500, are post-2000, below the 17% average; on those a builder-fitted composite or GRP door is likely, and composite doors respray from £200.
For comparison, 15.3% of properties in Ossett (2 miles away) and 15.6% in Wakefield (3 miles) pre-date 1919, so Horbury has more period housing than either. Since 2000 the figure is 8.6% here, 10.8% in Ossett and 18.4% in Wakefield. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 53.8% here, 61.9% in Ossett and 50.4% in Wakefield.
Who lives in Horbury, and what that changes
Housing here is mixed: 24.6% detached, 40.2% semi-detached, 26.0% terraced and 9.0% flats across 5,584 households. With no single type above 40%, the door matters more to the price than the house does, so we quote once we have seen the door, the frame and any side panels.
68.8% of households own their home and 14.2% 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 1,700 rented homes here may prefer one hard-wearing colour so touch-ups stay simple.
Choosing a door colour for Horbury
62.4% of Horbury 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 Horbury can be done in the same visit so the colours line up.

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).
