Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 1,350 properties around Shepley centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Shepley, uPVC 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 14.8% of Shepley properties built since 2000, about 200 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, 33.3% of properties here or roughly 450.

When the homes were built
What the age of Shepley homes means for your front door
33.3% of the 1,350 properties around Shepley centre pre-date 1919 (well above the 21% average) and 8.9% were built between the wars. On those roughly 570 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
20.7% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 23.7% from 1973 to 1999: 44.4% together, about 600 homes, close to the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 570 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.
14.8% of properties, about 200, 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, 30.6% of properties in New Mill (2 miles away) and 34.0% in Kirkburton (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so Shepley has a similar share of period housing. Since 2000 the figure is 14.8% here, 14.6% in New Mill and 12.1% in Kirkburton. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 44.4% here, 42.5% in New Mill and 43.6% in Kirkburton.
Who lives in Shepley, and what that changes
73.5% of the 1,275 households in Shepley live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns. Where one of these roughly 940 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 Shepley on the same visit.
83.4% of Shepley households own their home, above the 63% average, so if you are one of the roughly 1,100 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 Shepley
Because Shepley mixes 33.3% pre-1919 homes with 59.2% 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).
