Garage Doors We Spray
Judged from when the 372,890 properties across the Leeds City Council area were built, these are the garage doors we would expect to meet in Leeds, 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 16.3% of Leeds properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 61,000 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 18.7% of local properties built since 2000, about 70,000.
- Timber and side-hinged doors: grain filling, then primer and topcoats, priced at the consultation because preparation varies; with 17.4% of properties here pre-dating 1919, timber garage doors are the less likely find.

Type of home
When the homes were built
How many Leeds homes are likely to have a garage
The Census does not count garages, but house type is a fair guide: 15.5% of the 341,466 households here live in detached houses and 37.5% in semis, 53.0% together against 58% across all the towns we cover. Many of those roughly 181,000 homes will have a garage of their own; the 25.0% in terraces mostly will not, unless there is a separate garage in a rear lane or a block nearby.
Nearby, 49.4% of households in Morley (4 miles away) and 74.5% in Gildersome (4 miles) live in detached or semi-detached houses, so Leeds has a share of garage-type homes close to Morley and less than Gildersome. The share built since 2000 is 18.7% here, against 18.8% in Morley and 13.2% in Gildersome, a rough guide to how many integral garages with sectional doors to expect.
What the building dates suggest about Leeds garage doors
19.0% of properties, roughly 71,000, 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.
28.7% 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.
18.7% of properties have been built since 2000 (close to the 17% average). Homes that new, roughly 70,000 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 Leeds
20.4% of homes here, about 70,000, 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 Leeds, the workshop is about 4 minutes away, so we can start early and finish in one visit, and every door carries our 5-year written guarantee on adhesion and colour stability.
Choosing a colour
With 17.4% of Leeds properties pre-1919 and 63.7% 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 Leeds: Questions
How much does garage door spraying cost in Leeds?
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 Leeds?
Often, yes. 20.4% of Leeds households rent from a council or housing association and 21.8% from a private landlord (Census 2021), and their garages belong to the landlord. Where terraces and flats make up 47.0% 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 Leeds garage more likely to have an up-and-over or a sectional door?
Going by build dates (Valuation Office Agency), 45.0% of Leeds properties date from 1945 to 1999, the decades of the steel up-and-over door, and 18.7% 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 Leeds have a garage?
The Census does not record garages, but 53.0% of the 341,466 households in Leeds live in detached or semi-detached houses, the homes most likely to have one (Census 2021). The other 47.0% are mostly terraces and flats, which more often use separate garage blocks that may need the owner's permission for a colour change.
Where is ColourHaus based in Leeds?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH, just north of the city centre. We visit you at home for the free consultation and confirm dates in your fixed-price quote before you commit.
Do I need permission to change exterior colours in Leeds?
Usually not for an ordinary house, but listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas can need consent from Leeds 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.
