Garage Doors We Spray
Judged from when the 125,050 properties across the Hull City Council area were built, these are the garage doors we would expect to meet in Hull, 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 typical of the 22.1% of Hull properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 28,000 homes.
- 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 12.7% of local properties built since 2000, about 16,000.
- Timber and side-hinged doors: grain filling, then primer and topcoats, priced at the consultation because preparation varies; with 19.9% of properties here pre-dating 1919, timber garage doors are the less likely find.

Type of home
When the homes were built
How many Hull homes are likely to have a garage
The Census does not count garages, but house type is a fair guide: 8.4% of the 115,471 households here live in detached houses and 29.4% in semis, 37.8% together against 58% across all the towns we cover. Terraces (46.7%) and flats (15.3%) house roughly 72,000 of the rest, so many garages here are in rear lanes, shared blocks or courts rather than beside the house. If a block is owned by the council, a housing association or a management company, ask for its agreement before booking a colour change.
Nearby, 66.5% of households in Anlaby (4 miles away) and 68.9% in Cottingham (4 miles) live in detached or semi-detached houses, so Hull has a lower share of garage-type homes than either. The share built since 2000 is 12.7% here, against 11.1% in Anlaby and 18.6% in Cottingham, a rough guide to how many integral garages with sectional doors to expect.
What the building dates suggest about Hull garage doors
22.9% of properties, roughly 29,000, were built between the wars (above 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.
22.1% of properties were built between 1973 and 1999, when the steel up-and-over door in white or cream became the default. After a couple of decades that factory finish chalks and fades, and a single up-and-over on any of those 28,000 or so homes resprays from £150.
Owners, landlords and permissions in Hull
27.0% of homes here, about 31,000, 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 Hull, that one day on site means 61 miles and about 1 hour 11 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 19.9% of Hull properties pre-1919 and 57.2% 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 Hull: Questions
How much does garage door spraying cost in Hull?
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 Hull?
Often, yes. 27.0% of Hull households rent from a council or housing association and 23.9% from a private landlord (Census 2021), and their garages belong to the landlord. Where terraces and flats make up 62.0% 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 Hull garage more likely to have an up-and-over or a sectional door?
Going by build dates (Valuation Office Agency), 44.5% of Hull properties date from 1945 to 1999, the decades of the steel up-and-over door, and 12.7% from 2000 onwards, when sectional and roller doors became more common. On those figures an up-and-over is the more likely, 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 Hull have a garage?
The Census does not record garages, but 37.8% of the 115,471 households in Hull live in detached or semi-detached houses, the homes most likely to have one (Census 2021). The other 62.2% 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 Hull from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Hull is about 61 miles by road, roughly 1 hour 11 minutes away, to the 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 Hull?
Usually not for an ordinary house, but listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas can need consent from Hull City 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.
