Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 10,730 properties around Selby centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Selby, 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 27.1% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 2,900 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 24.3% of Selby properties built since 2000, about 2,600 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, 19.1% of properties here or roughly 2,000.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Selby homes means for your front door
19.1% of the 10,730 properties around Selby centre pre-date 1919 (close to the 21% average) and 9.9% were built between the wars. On those roughly 3,100 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
19.5% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 27.1% from 1973 to 1999, 46.6% together, close to the 45% average. Doors on those roughly 5,000 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.
24.3% of properties around Selby centre have been built since 2000 (above the 17% average). Many of those roughly 2,600 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, 13.8% of properties in Snaith (7 miles away) and 20.2% in Howden (9 miles) pre-date 1919, so Selby has a share of period housing more than Snaith and close to Howden. Since 2000 the figure is 24.3% here, 26.8% in Snaith and 34.2% in Howden. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 46.6% here, 57.5% in Snaith and 42.9% in Howden.
Who lives in Selby, and what that changes
Housing here is mixed: 23.2% detached, 36.5% semi-detached, 27.4% terraced and 12.6% flats across 10,133 households. With no single type above 36%, the door matters more to the price than the house does, so we quote once we have seen the door, the frame and any side panels.
61.9% of households own their home and 19.1% 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 3,700 rented homes here may prefer one hard-wearing colour so touch-ups stay simple.
Choosing a door colour for Selby
Because Selby mixes 19.1% pre-1919 homes with 70.9% 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).
