Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 7,140 properties around Swinton centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Swinton, 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; found on houses of every age, even where only 11.2% of properties date from 1973 to 1999, because so many original doors were replaced with uPVC.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 15.4% of Swinton properties built since 2000, about 1,100 homes.
- Timber and hardwood doors: grain filling, primer and topcoats for a smooth, brush-free face, from £250; with only 8.8% of properties here pre-dating 1919, a timber door here is as likely to be a later replacement as an original.

When the homes were built
What the age of Swinton homes means for your front door
Only 8.8% of the 7,140 properties around Swinton centre were built before 1919, against a 21% average. With just 630 or so homes of that age, original Victorian timber doors are the exception in Swinton.
Another 18.2% of properties, roughly 1,300, went up between the wars (close to the 16% average). Front doors of that era were often timber with glazed upper panels or leaded lights; where one survives, we mask the glass and spray the timber around it.
46.4% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 11.2% from 1973 to 1999, 57.6% together, above the 45% average. Doors on those roughly 4,100 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.
15.4% of properties, about 1,100, 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, 23.9% of properties in Mexborough (1 miles away) and 16.9% in Wath-upon-Dearne (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so Swinton has less period housing than either. Since 2000 the figure is 15.4% here, 18.7% in Mexborough and 23.4% in Wath-upon-Dearne. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 57.6% here, 42.4% in Mexborough and 45.8% in Wath-upon-Dearne.
Who lives in Swinton, and what that changes
71.3% of the 6,680 households in Swinton live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns. Where one of these roughly 4,800 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 Swinton on the same visit.
23.4% of homes here, about 1,600, are social rented. If your landlord is the council or a housing association, the door belongs to them, so ask for written permission before booking a colour change.
Choosing a door colour for Swinton
73.0% of Swinton 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 Swinton can be done in the same visit so the colours line up.
