Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 12,270 properties around Morley centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Morley, 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 26.5% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 3,300 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 18.8% of Morley properties built since 2000, about 2,300 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, 22.3% of properties here or roughly 2,700.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Morley homes means for your front door
22.3% of the 12,270 properties around Morley centre pre-date 1919 (close to the 21% average) and 9.6% were built between the wars. On those roughly 3,900 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
22.6% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 26.5% from 1973 to 1999, 49.1% together, close to the 45% average. Doors on those roughly 6,000 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.
18.8% of properties, about 2,300, are post-2000, above the 17% average; on those a builder-fitted composite or GRP door is likely, and composite doors respray from £200.
For comparison, 11.0% of properties in Gildersome (1 miles away) and 13.7% in Drighlington (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so Morley has more period housing than either. Since 2000 the figure is 18.8% here, 13.2% in Gildersome and 23.4% in Drighlington. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 49.1% here, 56.4% in Gildersome and 51.5% in Drighlington.
Who lives in Morley, and what that changes
Terraces house 31.0% of the 11,691 households here (above the 27% average). Those 3,600 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.
62.9% of households own their home and 23.5% 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 4,300 rented homes here may prefer one hard-wearing colour so touch-ups stay simple.
Choosing a door colour for Morley
Because Morley mixes 22.3% pre-1919 homes with 67.9% 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).
