Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Oakenshaw homes means for your front door
28.3% of the 3,140 properties around Oakenshaw centre pre-date 1919 (above the 21% average) and 5.1% were built between the wars. On those roughly 1,000 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
26.8% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 23.2% from 1973 to 1999, 50.0% together, above the 45% average. Doors on those roughly 1,600 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.
16.6% of properties, about 520, 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, 25.7% of properties in Wyke (1 miles away) and 16.9% in Birkenshaw (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so Oakenshaw has a share of period housing close to Wyke and more than Birkenshaw. Since 2000 the figure is 16.6% here, 6.8% in Wyke and 17.8% in Birkenshaw. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 50.0% here, 52.7% in Wyke and 42.0% in Birkenshaw.
Who lives in Oakenshaw, and what that changes
Terraces house 30.6% of the 3,014 households here (above the 27% average). Those 920 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.
74.6% of households own their home and 19.2% 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 760 rented homes here may prefer one hard-wearing colour so touch-ups stay simple.
Choosing a door colour for Oakenshaw
66.6% of Oakenshaw 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 Oakenshaw can be done in the same visit so the colours line up.

Front Door Spraying Prices and Process
