Garage Doors We Spray
Judged from when the 6,710 properties around Bolton-upon-Dearne centre were built, these are the garage doors we would expect to meet in Bolton-upon-Dearne, steel up-and-over first; GRP and fibreglass doors get a specialist adhesion primer so the coating bonds to the moulded surface.
- 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 14.5% of properties here date from its 1973 to 1999 heyday.
- 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 20.0% of local properties built since 2000, about 1,300.
- Timber and side-hinged doors: grain filling, then primer and topcoats, priced at the consultation because preparation varies; worth knowing where 20.9% of properties, roughly 1,400, pre-date 1919.

Type of home
When the homes were built
How many Bolton-upon-Dearne homes are likely to have a garage
The Census does not count garages, but house type is a fair guide: 19.7% of the 6,234 households here live in detached houses and 45.8% in semis, 65.5% together against 58% across all the towns we cover. That is roughly 4,100 homes of the kind that most often have their own garage, attached, integral or at the end of the drive, so the garage door is usually a big part of the front of the house.
Nearby, 62.3% of households in Goldthorpe (1 miles away) and 65.0% in Wath-upon-Dearne (2 miles) live in detached or semi-detached houses, so Bolton-upon-Dearne has a similar share of garage-type homes. The share built since 2000 is 20.0% here, against 26.5% in Goldthorpe and 23.4% in Wath-upon-Dearne, a rough guide to how many integral garages with sectional doors to expect.
What the building dates suggest about Bolton-upon-Dearne garage doors
18.0% of properties, roughly 1,200, 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.
26.7% 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.
20.0% of properties have been built since 2000 (above the 17% average). Homes that new, roughly 1,300 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.
