Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 2,170 properties around Leyburn centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Leyburn, 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 24.0% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 520 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 21.7% of Leyburn properties built since 2000, about 470 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, 24.9% of properties here or roughly 540.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Leyburn homes means for your front door
24.9% of the 2,170 properties around Leyburn centre pre-date 1919 (above the 21% average) and 6.5% were built between the wars. On those roughly 680 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
22.1% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 24.0% from 1973 to 1999, 46.1% together, close to the 45% average. Doors on those roughly 1,000 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.
21.7% of properties around Leyburn centre have been built since 2000 (above the 17% average). Many of those roughly 470 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, 36.2% of properties in Middleham (2 miles away) and 53.6% in Aysgarth (7 miles) pre-date 1919, so Leyburn has less period housing than either. Since 2000 the figure is 21.7% here, 16.4% in Middleham and 16.4% in Aysgarth. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 46.1% here, 41.5% in Middleham and 30.0% in Aysgarth.
Who lives in Leyburn, and what that changes
75.7% of the 1,985 households in Leyburn live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns. Where one of these roughly 1,500 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 Leyburn on the same visit.
67.5% of households own their home and 21.5% 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 630 rented homes here may prefer one hard-wearing colour so touch-ups stay simple.
Choosing a door colour for Leyburn
Because Leyburn mixes 24.9% pre-1919 homes with 67.8% 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).
