Garage Doors We Spray
Judged from when the 8,950 properties around Wombwell centre were built, these are the garage doors we would expect to meet in Wombwell, sectional first; GRP and fibreglass doors get a specialist adhesion primer so the coating bonds to the moulded surface.
- 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 26.7% of local properties built since 2000, about 2,400.
- 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 12.4% of properties here date from its 1973 to 1999 heyday.
- Timber and side-hinged doors: grain filling, then primer and topcoats, priced at the consultation because preparation varies; worth knowing where 24.9% of properties, roughly 2,200, pre-date 1919.

Type of home
When the homes were built
How many Wombwell homes are likely to have a garage
The Census does not count garages, but house type is a fair guide: 20.9% of the 8,291 households here live in detached houses and 44.0% in semis, 64.9% together against 58% across all the towns we cover. Many of those roughly 5,400 homes will have a garage of their own; the 28.4% in terraces mostly will not, unless there is a separate garage in a rear lane or a block nearby.
Nearby, 75.5% of households in Darfield (1 miles away) and 69.7% in Hoyland (2 miles) live in detached or semi-detached houses, so Wombwell has a lower share of garage-type homes than either. The share built since 2000 is 26.7% here, against 10.3% in Darfield and 13.7% in Hoyland, a rough guide to how many integral garages with sectional doors to expect.
What the building dates suggest about Wombwell garage doors
15.1% of properties, roughly 1,400, were built between the wars (close to 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.
26.7% of properties have been built since 2000 (well above the 17% average). Homes that new, roughly 2,400 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 Wombwell
61.2% of households own their home, close to the 63% average, and owners can have the garage and front door sprayed in Wombwell 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 Wombwell, that one day on site means 29 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
On the 59.7% of Wombwell properties built after 1945, the usual choices are anthracite grey (RAL 7016) and jet black (RAL 9005), especially where the windows are already grey; white (RAL 9010) still suits a house with white windows and fascias; 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 Wombwell: Questions
How much does garage door spraying cost in Wombwell?
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 Wombwell?
Often, yes. 16.9% of Wombwell households rent from a council or housing association and 21.2% from a private landlord (Census 2021), and their garages belong to the landlord. Where terraces and flats make up 35.0% 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 Wombwell garage more likely to have an up-and-over or a sectional door?
Going by build dates (Valuation Office Agency), 33.0% of Wombwell properties date from 1945 to 1999, the decades of the steel up-and-over door, and 26.7% 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 Wombwell have a garage?
The Census does not record garages, but 64.9% of the 8,291 households in Wombwell live in detached or semi-detached houses, the homes most likely to have one (Census 2021). The other 35.1% 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 Wombwell from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Wombwell is about 29 miles by road, roughly 38 minutes away, to the south. 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 Wombwell?
Usually not for an ordinary house, but listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas can need consent from Barnsley 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.
