Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 6,340 properties around Penistone centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Penistone, composite first; GRP and steel doors, frames and side panels get their own primers, and handles and letterboxes come off rather than being masked.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 26.0% of Penistone properties built since 2000, about 1,600 homes.
- uPVC doors: sprayed with Kolorbond-certified coatings made to bond to uPVC and guaranteed for 10 years; the usual replacement door on the 21.5% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 1,400 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, 20.8% of properties here or roughly 1,300.

When the homes were built
What the age of Penistone homes means for your front door
20.8% of the 6,340 properties around Penistone centre pre-date 1919 (close to the 21% average) and 7.6% were built between the wars. On those roughly 1,800 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
24.0% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 21.5% from 1973 to 1999, 45.5% together, close to the 45% average. Doors on those roughly 2,900 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.
26.0% of properties around Penistone centre have been built since 2000 (well above the 17% average). Many of those roughly 1,600 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, 21.5% of properties in Thurlstone (1 miles away) and 16.8% in Silkstone (3 miles) pre-date 1919, so Penistone has a similar share of period housing. Since 2000 the figure is 26.0% here, 20.4% in Thurlstone and 8.8% in Silkstone. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 45.5% here, 49.9% in Thurlstone and 66.4% in Silkstone.
Who lives in Penistone, and what that changes
71.7% of the 5,958 households in Penistone live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns. Where one of these roughly 4,300 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 Penistone on the same visit.
77.0% of Penistone households own their home, above the 63% average, so if you are one of the roughly 4,600 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 Penistone
71.5% of Penistone 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 Penistone 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).
