Respray Your uPVC Instead of Replacing It
Yes, the uPVC windows, doors, conservatory frames, fascias and soffits on a Heckmondwike home can be resprayed in a new colour rather than replaced: prices start from £80 a window and £200 a uPVC door, most jobs take 1 to 2 days on site, and because we use Kolorbond-certified coatings every uPVC respray carries a 10-year written guarantee.
Our workshop is in Sheepscar, Leeds, 10 miles (about 20 minutes by road) from Heckmondwike. Of the 10,330 properties around Heckmondwike centre, 33% were built from 1973 onwards and 24% before 1919, which shapes the likely condition of the frames and the colours that suit them.

Type of home
When the homes were built
When homes in Heckmondwike were built, and what that means for the frames
Around Heckmondwike centre, the Valuation Office Agency counts 10,330 properties: 24% built before 1919, 14% between the wars, 29% from 1945 to 1972, 21% from 1973 to 1999 and 12% since 2000. The largest difference from other towns is the 29% (about 3,010 properties) built from 1945 to 1972, above the 26% average. Those 3,010 houses went up with timber, steel or aluminium windows, and most are now on a second set, usually uPVC fitted from the 1980s onwards. Across those 3,010 properties, expect frames that still open and seal well but have faded, yellowed or greyed with age, which is the condition a respray is meant for. The 24% built before 1919 is also above the 21% average: about 2,450 older buildings where any uPVC has replaced original timber.
33% of properties here (about 3,430) were built from 1973 onwards, close to the 36% average, and 38% (about 3,880) predate 1939, so in Heckmondwike you will find both original uPVC on newer houses and replacement frames on older ones; the survey tells us which you have.
Types of home in Heckmondwike, and a worked price
Of the 9,966 households counted around Heckmondwike centre in the 2021 Census, 18% live in detached houses, 39% in semi-detached, 29% in terraced houses and 14% in flats. The largest group is semi-detached houses, about 3,870 households or 39% (average 37%), and at our published rates a semi-detached house with seven windows and two doors would come to roughly £960 to £1,750 before fascias, soffits or a conservatory, with the exact price set after we check frame sizes, condition and access.
No single type dominates: with 57% detached or semi-detached and 43% terraced or flats across 9,966 households, jobs here range from a single front door to a full exterior with roofline and conservatory.
About 8,600 households here (86%) live in houses rather than flats, and many houses with uPVC windows also have a uPVC roofline of fascias, soffits and bargeboards that weathers alongside them; spraying the roofline in the same visit as the frames ties the colour together and is usually more economical than two separate jobs.
Owners, landlords and timing
64% of households own their home and 19% rent privately (averages 63% and 19%), so owners weighing a respray against replacement and landlords who care most about speed are both well represented among the 9,966 households; a typical job takes 1 to 2 days either way.

How a Kolorbond uPVC Respray Works
uPVC is smooth and non-porous, so ordinary paint has little to grip and soon peels; a proper respray uses coatings made for uPVC, applied in a set order:
- Survey: frames checked for soundness
- Deep clean to remove chalking
- Specialist uPVC adhesion primer
- Two Kolorbond-certified topcoats, HVLP-sprayed
- Joint inspection, then written guarantee
Glass, seals, brickwork and handles are masked throughout, and we use Kolorbond-certified coatings made to bond to uPVC, which is what allows us to give a 10-year written guarantee on uPVC; a professionally applied coating lasts 10 years or more in normal conditions, and our article on how long uPVC spray painting lasts in Yorkshire weather explains what affects that.
Respray or replace?
Replacing every uPVC window and door on a house typically costs £8,000 to £15,000 and counts as controlled work under the Building Regulations, whereas a respray at £2,000 to £5,500 leaves the existing double glazing, seals and hinges untouched; replacement is still the right call if frames are warped or cracked or the sealed glass has failed, and we will tell you so at the survey; see our comparison of uPVC spraying and window replacement costs.
Choosing a colour in Heckmondwike
With a mix of 24% pre-1919 and 33% post-1973 properties among the 10,330 here, there is no single house style to design around, which is one reason anthracite grey (RAL 7016) is so widely chosen: it suits red brick, buff brick, stone and render alike, with sage and darker greens, cream and black the other common choices, and our guide to the colours uPVC can be sprayed explains the options.
A uPVC conservatory can be resprayed on its own or with the house (read what spraying a uPVC conservatory involves), and if it is only the front door you want to change, see front door spraying in Heckmondwike.

What Customers Say About Our UPVC respray Work
“Excellent service. I had two outside uPVC doors and a garage door sprayed - about 20 years old and tatty, they now look amazing. Very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.”
“Had new anthracite sliding doors fitted after major construction work, and Matt sprayed our old white uPVC windows to match perfectly. A massive saving on having new ones fitted.”
“Used this company to have our porch and back door colour matched and sprayed to match our new uPVC windows. They look brand new. Friendly team and easy to work with.”

What guarantee comes with a uPVC respray?
Every uPVC respray done with Kolorbond-certified coatings carries a 10-year written guarantee covering adhesion and colour stability, issued when the job is signed off.
How long does a uPVC respray take in Heckmondwike?
Most jobs take 1 to 2 days on site and a whole-house package 2 to 3 days, in dry weather; as Heckmondwike is 10 miles (about 20 minutes by road) from our workshop, on a multi-day job we are back on site first thing each morning.
Can faded or yellowed uPVC in Heckmondwike be resprayed?
Usually, yes: chalking, yellowing and greying are surface changes caused by sunlight, and they are common on the replacement and first-generation frames of the 3,010 Heckmondwike properties built from 1945 to 1972 (29%); deep cleaning removes the residue before the primer goes on, and frames that are warped or cracked are better replaced, which we will say at the survey.

Do I need permission to change exterior colours in Heckmondwike?
Usually not for an ordinary house, but listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas can need consent from Kirklees 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.
