Garage Doors We Spray
Judged from when the 10,730 properties around Selby centre were built, these are the garage doors we would expect to meet in Selby, 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 27.1% of Selby properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 2,900 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 24.3% of local properties built since 2000, about 2,600.
- Timber and side-hinged doors: grain filling, then primer and topcoats, priced at the consultation because preparation varies; with 19.1% of properties here pre-dating 1919, timber garage doors are the less likely find.

Type of home
When the homes were built
How many Selby homes are likely to have a garage
The Census does not count garages, but house type is a fair guide: 23.2% of the 10,133 households here live in detached houses and 36.5% in semis, 59.7% together against 58% across all the towns we cover. Many of those roughly 6,000 homes will have a garage of their own; the 27.4% in terraces mostly will not, unless there is a separate garage in a rear lane or a block nearby.
Nearby, 86.7% of households in Snaith (7 miles away) and 79.0% in Howden (9 miles) live in detached or semi-detached houses, so Selby has a lower share of garage-type homes than either. The share built since 2000 is 24.3% here, against 26.8% in Snaith and 34.2% in Howden, a rough guide to how many integral garages with sectional doors to expect.
What the building dates suggest about Selby garage doors
27.1% 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 2,900 or so homes resprays from £150.
24.3% of properties have been built since 2000 (above the 17% average). Homes that new, roughly 2,600 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 Selby
61.9% of households own their home, close to the 63% average, and owners can have the garage and front door sprayed in Selby on the same visit so the colours match from the start.

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 Selby, that one day on site means 22 miles and about 38 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 19.1% of Selby properties pre-1919 and 70.9% 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 Selby: Questions
How much does garage door spraying cost in Selby?
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 Selby?
Often, yes. 17.8% of Selby households rent from a council or housing association and 19.1% from a private landlord (Census 2021), and their garages belong to the landlord. Where terraces and flats make up 40.0% 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 Selby garage more likely to have an up-and-over or a sectional door?
Going by build dates (Valuation Office Agency), 46.6% of Selby properties date from 1945 to 1999, the decades of the steel up-and-over door, and 24.3% 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 Selby have a garage?
The Census does not record garages, but 59.7% of the 10,133 households in Selby live in detached or semi-detached houses, the homes most likely to have one (Census 2021). The other 40.3% 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 Selby from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Selby is about 22 miles by road, roughly 38 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 Selby?
Usually not for an ordinary house, but listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas can need consent from North Yorkshire 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.
