Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 4,640 properties around Menston centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Menston, composite first; GRP and steel doors, frames and side panels get their own primers, and handles and letterboxes come off rather than being masked.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 28.2% of Menston properties built since 2000, about 1,300 homes.
- uPVC doors: sprayed with Kolorbond-certified coatings made to bond to uPVC and guaranteed for 10 years; the usual replacement door on the 17.0% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 790 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, 12.7% of properties here or roughly 590.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Menston homes means for your front door
Only 12.7% of the 4,640 properties around Menston centre were built before 1919, against a 21% average. With just 590 or so homes of that age, original Victorian timber doors are the exception in Menston.
Another 18.1% of properties, roughly 840, went up between the wars (close to 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.
23.5% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 17.0% from 1973 to 1999: 40.5% together, about 1,900 homes, below the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 1,400 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.
28.2% of properties around Menston centre have been built since 2000 (well above the 17% average). Many of those roughly 1,300 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, 22.9% of properties in Burley in Wharfedale (2 miles away) and 13.8% in Guiseley (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so Menston has a share of period housing less than Burley in Wharfedale and close to Guiseley. Since 2000 the figure is 28.2% here, 16.5% in Burley in Wharfedale and 20.5% in Guiseley. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 40.5% here, 47.6% in Burley in Wharfedale and 45.4% in Guiseley.
Who lives in Menston, and what that changes
69.5% of the 4,246 households in Menston live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns. Where one of these roughly 3,000 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 Menston on the same visit.
83.9% of Menston households own their home, above the 63% average, so if you are one of the roughly 3,600 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 Menston
68.7% of Menston 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 Menston 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).
