Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 2,940 properties around New Mill centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in New Mill, 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 18.7% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 550 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 14.6% of New Mill properties built since 2000, about 430 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, 30.6% of properties here or roughly 900.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of New Mill homes means for your front door
30.6% of the 2,940 properties around New Mill centre pre-date 1919 (above the 21% average) and 10.5% were built between the wars. On those roughly 1,200 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
23.8% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 18.7% from 1973 to 1999: 42.5% together, about 1,200 homes, close to the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 1,200 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.
14.6% of properties, about 430, are post-2000, below the 17% average; on those a builder-fitted composite or GRP door is likely, and composite doors respray from £200.
For comparison, 32.3% of properties in Holmfirth (2 miles away) and 33.3% in Shepley (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so New Mill has a similar share of period housing. Since 2000 the figure is 14.6% here, 16.3% in Holmfirth and 14.8% in Shepley. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 42.5% here, 42.3% in Holmfirth and 44.4% in Shepley.
Who lives in New Mill, and what that changes
Terraces house 31.9% of the 2,821 households here (above the 27% average). Those 900 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.
78.8% of New Mill households own their home, above the 63% average, so if you are one of the roughly 2,200 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 New Mill
Because New Mill mixes 30.6% pre-1919 homes with 57.1% 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).
