Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 2,010 properties around Methley centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Methley, 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 19.9% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 400 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 24.4% of Methley properties built since 2000, about 490 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, 18.9% of properties here or roughly 380.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Methley homes means for your front door
18.9% of the 2,010 properties around Methley centre pre-date 1919 (below the 21% average) and 14.9% 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.
21.9% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 19.9% from 1973 to 1999: 41.8% together, about 840 homes, close to the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 680 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.
24.4% of properties around Methley centre have been built since 2000 (above the 17% average). Many of those roughly 490 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, 18.2% of properties in Allerton Bywater (2 miles away) and 39.3% in Castleford (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so Methley has a share of period housing close to Allerton Bywater and less than Castleford. Since 2000 the figure is 24.4% here, 34.9% in Allerton Bywater and 24.3% in Castleford. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 41.8% here, 31.8% in Allerton Bywater and 26.0% in Castleford.
Who lives in Methley, and what that changes
77.2% of the 1,861 households in Methley live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns. Where one of these roughly 1,400 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 Methley on the same visit.
78.2% of Methley households own their home, above the 63% average, so if you are one of the roughly 1,500 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 Methley
Because Methley mixes 18.9% pre-1919 homes with 66.2% 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.
