Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 5,060 properties around Linthwaite centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Linthwaite, timber first; GRP and steel doors, frames and side panels get their own primers, and handles and letterboxes come off rather than being masked.
- 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, 52.8% of properties here or roughly 2,700.
- uPVC doors: sprayed with Kolorbond-certified coatings made to bond to uPVC and guaranteed for 10 years; the usual replacement door on the 13.0% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 660 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 16.4% of Linthwaite properties built since 2000, about 830 homes.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Linthwaite homes means for your front door
52.8% of the 5,060 properties around Linthwaite centre were built before 1919, well above the 21% average across the towns we cover. Those roughly 2,700 houses were built with solid timber panelled doors; some survive, and many have been swapped for uPVC or composite.
9.5% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 13.0% from 1973 to 1999: 22.5% together, about 1,100 homes, well below the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 3,000 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.
16.4% of properties, about 830, 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, 52.4% of properties in Slaithwaite (1 miles away) and 37.8% in Golcar (1 miles) pre-date 1919, so Linthwaite has a share of period housing close to Slaithwaite and more than Golcar. Since 2000 the figure is 16.4% here, 13.0% in Slaithwaite and 16.4% in Golcar. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 22.5% here, 24.5% in Slaithwaite and 35.9% in Golcar.
Who lives in Linthwaite, and what that changes
Terraces house 48.6% of the 4,576 households here (well above the 27% average). Those 2,200 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.
75.1% of Linthwaite households own their home, above the 63% average, so if you are one of the roughly 3,400 owner-occupiers planning to stay, it pays to spray the frame at the same time (from £80 to £120) so the whole entrance ages evenly.
Choosing a door colour for Linthwaite
With 52.8% of fronts pre-dating 1919, deep heritage shades are the natural fit in Linthwaite: Farrow & Ball Railings, Hague Blue, dark greens and traditional reds; see our guide to front door colours for Yorkshire stone houses.

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).
