When the homes were built
What the age of Mirfield homes means for your front door
20.0% of the 8,990 properties around Mirfield centre pre-date 1919 (close to the 21% average) and 11.9% were built between the wars. On those roughly 2,900 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
36.5% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 16.4% from 1973 to 1999, 52.9% together, above the 45% average. Doors on those roughly 4,800 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.
14.9% of properties, about 1,300, 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, 26.3% of properties in Ravensthorpe (1 miles away) and 23.7% in Heckmondwike (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so Mirfield has less period housing than either. Since 2000 the figure is 14.9% here, 16.1% in Ravensthorpe and 12.5% in Heckmondwike. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 52.9% here, 37.4% in Ravensthorpe and 49.8% in Heckmondwike.
Who lives in Mirfield, and what that changes
67.1% of the 8,415 households in Mirfield live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns. Where one of these roughly 5,600 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 Mirfield on the same visit.
72.8% of households own their home and 14.7% 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 2,300 rented homes here may prefer one hard-wearing colour so touch-ups stay simple.
Choosing a door colour for Mirfield
67.8% of Mirfield 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 Mirfield 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).
