Garage Doors We Spray
Judged from when the 5,580 properties around Hemsworth centre were built, these are the garage doors we would expect to meet in Hemsworth, 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 23.5% 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; with 16.3% of properties here pre-dating 1919, timber garage doors are the less likely find.

Type of home
When the homes were built
How many Hemsworth homes are likely to have a garage
The Census does not count garages, but house type is a fair guide: 20.4% of the 5,197 households here live in detached houses and 50.3% in semis, 70.7% together against 58% across all the towns we cover. That is roughly 3,700 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, 79.1% of households in Brierley (2 miles away) and 68.3% in South Elmsall (3 miles) live in detached or semi-detached houses, so Hemsworth has a share of garage-type homes less than Brierley and close to South Elmsall. The share built since 2000 is 23.5% here, against 27.6% in Brierley and 16.3% in South Elmsall, a rough guide to how many integral garages with sectional doors to expect.
What the building dates suggest about Hemsworth garage doors
14.0% of properties, roughly 780, were built between the wars (below 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.
31.5% of properties here date from 1945 to 1972, above 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.
23.5% 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.
Owners, landlords and permissions in Hemsworth
23.9% of homes here, about 1,200, are social rented, and garages that belong to the council or a housing association need the landlord's written permission before we change the colour.

Garage Door Spraying Prices, Process and Colours
Spraying versus a new door
Our service page puts a new steel up-and-over door at £600 to £1,200 supplied and fitted and a new sectional or roller door at £1,500 to £2,500 or more, so if the springs, runners and mechanism are sound, a respray from £150 changes the look for a fraction of that.
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 Hemsworth, that one day on site means 21 miles and about 35 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
With 16.3% of Hemsworth properties pre-1919 and 69.5% built after 1945, the best guide is your own frontage, so we bring sample cards to hold against your brick or stone in daylight; 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.

Garage Door Spraying in Hemsworth: Questions
How much does garage door spraying cost in Hemsworth?
From £150 for a single steel up-and-over door, and usually £220 to £350 for a double or sectional door; timber, GRP and roller doors are priced after a free consultation, and every quote is fixed and in writing.
Do I need permission to spray a garage in a block or a rented home in Hemsworth?
Often, yes. 23.9% of Hemsworth households rent from a council or housing association and 15.7% from a private landlord (Census 2021), and their garages belong to the landlord. Terraces and flats make up 29.4% of homes here, so fewer garages sit in shared blocks or courts, but where one does, the block may belong to a management company, so get its agreement first.
Is a Hemsworth garage more likely to have an up-and-over or a sectional door?
Going by build dates (Valuation Office Agency), 46.0% of Hemsworth properties date from 1945 to 1999, the decades of the steel up-and-over door, and 23.5% 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 Hemsworth have a garage?
The Census does not record garages, but 70.7% of the 5,197 households in Hemsworth live in detached or semi-detached houses, the homes most likely to have one (Census 2021). The other 29.3% are mostly terraces and flats, which more often use separate garage blocks that may need the owner's permission for a colour change.
How far is Hemsworth from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Hemsworth is about 21 miles by road, roughly 35 minutes away, to the south-east. We confirm visit dates and anything distance-related in your fixed-price quote before you commit.
Do I need permission to change exterior colours in Hemsworth?
Usually not for an ordinary house, but listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas can need consent from Wakefield Council. If your home is in one, check with the council first; we can give you the exact RAL or BS colour reference for the application.
