Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 2,360 properties around Swanland centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Swanland, 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 36.4% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 860 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 19.5% of Swanland properties built since 2000, about 460 homes.
- Timber and hardwood doors: grain filling, primer and topcoats for a smooth, brush-free face, from £250; with only 4.7% of properties here pre-dating 1919, a timber door here is as likely to be a later replacement as an original.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Swanland homes means for your front door
Only 4.7% of the 2,360 properties around Swanland centre were built before 1919, against a 21% average. With just 110 or so homes of that age, original Victorian timber doors are the exception in Swanland.
29.7% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 36.4% from 1973 to 1999, 66.1% 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.
19.5% of properties, about 460, are post-2000, above the 17% average; on those a builder-fitted composite or GRP door is likely, and composite doors respray from £200.
For comparison, 13.2% of properties in North Ferriby (1 miles away) and 5.8% in Kirk Ella (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so Swanland has a share of period housing less than North Ferriby and close to Kirk Ella. Since 2000 the figure is 19.5% here, 14.5% in North Ferriby and 12.0% in Kirk Ella. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 66.1% here, 57.7% in North Ferriby and 57.8% in Kirk Ella.
Who lives in Swanland, and what that changes
88.0% of the 2,083 households in Swanland live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns. Where one of these roughly 1,800 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 Swanland on the same visit.
86.2% of Swanland households own their home, above the 63% average, so if you are one of the roughly 1,800 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 Swanland
85.6% of Swanland 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 Swanland can be done in the same visit so the colours line up.

Front Door Spraying Prices and Process
Spraying versus a new door
