Garage Doors We Spray
Judged from when the 1,920 properties around Allerton Bywater centre were built, these are the garage doors we would expect to meet in Allerton Bywater, sectional first; GRP and fibreglass doors get a specialist adhesion primer so the coating bonds to the moulded surface.
- Sectional and roller doors: sprayed panel by panel or slat by slat so the colour is even; sectional doors usually cost £220 to £350 and roller shutters are priced after a survey; both types are more common on the 34.9% of local properties built since 2000, about 670.
- Steel up-and-over doors: usually white or cream from the factory; cleaned, keyed, rust-treated (a badly corroded door is assessed honestly first), primed and sprayed from £150, and found on homes of every age, although only 4.7% of properties here date from its 1973 to 1999 heyday.
- Timber and side-hinged doors: grain filling, then primer and topcoats, priced at the consultation because preparation varies; with 18.2% of properties here pre-dating 1919, timber garage doors are the less likely find.

Type of home
When the homes were built
How many Allerton Bywater homes are likely to have a garage
The Census does not count garages, but house type is a fair guide: 12.4% of the 1,818 households here live in detached houses and 41.6% in semis, 54.0% together against 58% across all the towns we cover. Many of those roughly 980 homes will have a garage of their own; the 38.7% in terraces mostly will not, unless there is a separate garage in a rear lane or a block nearby.
Nearby, 78.8% of households in Kippax (2 miles away) and 41.4% in Castleford (2 miles) live in detached or semi-detached houses, so Allerton Bywater has a share of garage-type homes less than Kippax and more than Castleford. The share built since 2000 is 34.9% here, against 9.2% in Kippax and 24.3% in Castleford, a rough guide to how many integral garages with sectional doors to expect.
What the building dates suggest about Allerton Bywater garage doors
15.1% of properties, roughly 290, were built between the wars (close to the 16% average), when many ordinary houses were built without a garage, so where one of those homes has a garage today it was usually added later, often with a timber or early steel door.
27.1% of properties here date from 1945 to 1972, close to the 26% average. Not every home of that era was built with a garage, but where one has a garage, the original door has often since been replaced with a steel up-and-over.
34.9% of properties have been built since 2000 (well above the 17% average). Homes that new, roughly 670 of them, are more likely to have integral garages with sectional or roller doors; sectional doors usually cost £220 to £350 to spray, and roller shutters are priced after a survey.
Owners, landlords and permissions in Allerton Bywater
69.3% of households own their home, above the 63% average, and owners can have the garage and front door sprayed in Allerton Bywater on the same visit so the colours match from the start.

Garage Door Spraying Prices, Process and Colours
Spraying versus a new door

How the day runs
- Free consultation, colour samples and a fixed written price within 48 hours
- Clean and key the surface, treat rust, fill dents, mask the frame and drive
- Adhesion primer for the door material
- Two even HVLP topcoats across the whole door face
- Inspection before we leave; usable within 24 hours
For Allerton Bywater, that one day on site means 10 miles and about 22 minutes on the road each way from Leeds, which we plan into the booking, and every door carries our 5-year written guarantee on adhesion and colour stability.
Choosing a colour
On the 66.7% of Allerton Bywater properties built after 1945, the usual choices are anthracite grey (RAL 7016) and jet black (RAL 9005), especially where the windows are already grey; white (RAL 9010) still suits a house with white windows and fascias; you can also match the garage to the front door or uPVC windows in the same visit, and our colour matching service can copy a shade from a photo.

Do I need permission to spray a garage in a block or a rented home in Allerton Bywater?
Often, yes. 14.8% of Allerton Bywater households rent from a council or housing association and 13.2% from a private landlord (Census 2021), and their garages belong to the landlord. Where terraces and flats make up 46.0% of homes, as here, more garages sit in shared blocks or courts, which may belong to a management company, so get its agreement first.
Is a Allerton Bywater garage more likely to have an up-and-over or a sectional door?
Going by build dates (Valuation Office Agency), 31.8% of Allerton Bywater properties date from 1945 to 1999, the decades of the steel up-and-over door, and 34.9% from 2000 onwards, when sectional and roller doors became more common. On those figures either is common, and we spray both, from £150 for a single up-and-over and usually £220 to £350 for a sectional door, each with a 5-year written guarantee.
Do many homes in Allerton Bywater have a garage?
The Census does not record garages, but 54.0% of the 1,818 households in Allerton Bywater live in detached or semi-detached houses, the homes most likely to have one (Census 2021). The other 46.0% are mostly terraces and flats, which more often use separate garage blocks that may need the owner's permission for a colour change.
