Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 5,270 properties around Huntington centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Huntington, 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 27.9% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 1,500 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 13.9% of Huntington properties built since 2000, about 730 homes.
- Timber and hardwood doors: grain filling, primer and topcoats for a smooth, brush-free face, from £250; with only 6.6% of properties here pre-dating 1919, a timber door here is as likely to be a later replacement as an original.

When the homes were built
What the age of Huntington homes means for your front door
Only 6.6% of the 5,270 properties around Huntington centre were built before 1919, against a 21% average. With just 350 or so homes of that age, original Victorian timber doors are the exception in Huntington.
Another 14.0% of properties, roughly 740, went up between the wars (below 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.
36.6% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 27.9% from 1973 to 1999, 64.5% together, above the 45% average. Doors on those roughly 3,400 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.
13.9% of properties, about 730, 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, 5.0% of properties in Haxby (2 miles away) and 16.7% in York (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so Huntington has a share of period housing close to Haxby and less than York. Since 2000 the figure is 13.9% here, 4.0% in Haxby and 17.1% in York. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 64.5% here, 82.8% in Haxby and 49.8% in York.
Who lives in Huntington, and what that changes
73.2% of the 5,007 households in Huntington 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 Huntington on the same visit.
22.2% of homes here, about 1,100, 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 Huntington
78.4% of Huntington 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 Huntington can be done in the same visit so the colours line up.

Spraying versus a new door
