Front Door Spraying in Todmorden: The Short Answer
We respray front doors in Todmorden on site from £200 for a standard uPVC or composite door, usually in one day; Todmorden is 29 miles by road (about 56 minutes) from our workshop in Sheepscar, Leeds.
56.8% of the 5,880 properties around Todmorden centre were built before 1919, so we expect to meet original timber doors here as often as later uPVC or composite ones, and we spray all of them with HVLP equipment for a brush-free finish; see the full front door spraying service or our notes on spraying uPVC front doors.

Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 5,880 properties around Todmorden centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Todmorden, timber first; GRP and steel doors, frames and side panels get their own primers, and handles and letterboxes come off rather than being masked.
- 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, 56.8% of properties here or roughly 3,300.
- 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 10.9% 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; only 9.4% of Todmorden properties are post-2000, so here composites are mostly replacements, resprayed from £200 like uPVC.

When the homes were built
What the age of Todmorden homes means for your front door
56.8% of the 5,880 properties around Todmorden centre were built before 1919, well above the 21% average across the towns we cover. Those roughly 3,300 houses were built with solid timber panelled doors; some survive, and many have been swapped for uPVC or composite.
11.1% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 10.9% from 1973 to 1999: 22.0% together, about 1,300 homes, well below the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 4,000 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.
9.4% of properties, about 550, 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, 58.5% of properties in Hebden Bridge (4 miles away) and 37.8% in Sowerby Bridge (7 miles) pre-date 1919, so Todmorden has a share of period housing close to Hebden Bridge and more than Sowerby Bridge. Since 2000 the figure is 9.4% here, 9.9% in Hebden Bridge and 15.4% in Sowerby Bridge. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 22.0% here, 21.6% in Hebden Bridge and 27.9% in Sowerby Bridge.
Who lives in Todmorden, and what that changes
Terraces house 54.5% of the 5,555 households here (well above the 27% average). Those 3,000 or so terraced front doors usually open onto the pavement or a short path, so we spray the door in place, screen the pavement side and mask the step, sill and brickwork around it.
64.3% of households own their home and 21.1% 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 1,900 rented homes here may prefer one hard-wearing colour so touch-ups stay simple.
Choosing a door colour for Todmorden
With 56.8% of fronts pre-dating 1919, deep heritage shades are the natural fit in Todmorden: Farrow & Ball Railings, Hague Blue, dark greens and traditional reds; see our guide to front door colours for Yorkshire stone houses.

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).
