Garage Doors We Spray
Judged from when the 1,400 properties around Reeth centre were built, these are the garage doors we would expect to meet in Reeth, timber first; GRP and fibreglass doors get a specialist adhesion primer so the coating bonds to the moulded surface.
- Timber and side-hinged doors: grain filling, then primer and topcoats, priced at the consultation because preparation varies; worth knowing where 67.9% of properties, roughly 950, pre-date 1919.
- 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 14.3% 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 less common here, where only 7.1% of properties are post-2000.

Type of home
When the homes were built
How many Reeth homes are likely to have a garage
The Census does not count garages, but house type is a fair guide: 49.5% of the 1,052 households here live in detached houses and 28.5% in semis, 78.0% together against 58% across all the towns we cover. That is roughly 820 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, 78.7% of households in Aysgarth (7 miles away) and 75.7% in Leyburn (7 miles) live in detached or semi-detached houses, so Reeth has a similar share of garage-type homes. The share built since 2000 is 7.1% here, against 16.4% in Aysgarth and 21.7% in Leyburn, a rough guide to how many integral garages with sectional doors to expect.
What the building dates suggest about Reeth garage doors
67.9% of the 1,400 properties around Reeth centre were built before 1919 (well above the 21% average). Where those roughly 950 older houses have a garage, it was added later, often as timber side-hinged doors on an outbuilding or a converted coach house, and timber needs grain filling before priming.
Owners, landlords and permissions in Reeth
70.9% of households own their home, above the 63% average, and owners can have the garage and front door sprayed in Reeth on the same visit so the colours match from the start.
Reeth is inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park. A colour change on an ordinary garage rarely needs consent, but on listed buildings or in a conservation area the National Park Authority may want a say, and muted greens, greys and stone colours sit better in the landscape than bright shades.

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 Reeth, that one day on site means 62 miles and about 1 hour 25 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 67.9% of Reeth properties built before 1919, dark greens (RAL 6009), deep greys and Farrow & Ball Railings tend to look settled on older stone and brick, and a darker shade stops a large door dominating a small front; 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 Reeth: Questions
How much does garage door spraying cost in Reeth?
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 Reeth?
Often, yes. 6.7% of Reeth households rent from a council or housing association and 21.7% from a private landlord (Census 2021), and their garages belong to the landlord. Terraces and flats make up 21.8% 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 Reeth garage more likely to have an up-and-over or a sectional door?
Going by build dates (Valuation Office Agency), 22.9% of Reeth properties date from 1945 to 1999, the decades of the steel up-and-over door, and 7.1% from 2000 onwards, when sectional and roller doors became more common. With 67.9% of properties built before 1919, though, many garages here were added later and a timber or side-hinged door is as likely as either; we spray all three, from £150 for a single up-and-over and usually £220 to £350 for a sectional door, with timber priced after a survey and each with a 5-year written guarantee.
Do many homes in Reeth have a garage?
The Census does not record garages, but 78.0% of the 1,052 households in Reeth live in detached or semi-detached houses, the homes most likely to have one (Census 2021). The other 22.0% 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 Reeth from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Reeth is about 62 miles by road, roughly 1 hour 25 minutes away, to the north. 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 Reeth?
Reeth is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, so the National Park Authority handles planning. Many colour changes on ordinary houses need no consent, but listed buildings, conservation areas and properties with Article 4 directions can. Check with the Authority before booking; we can supply RAL or BS colour references for an application.
