Skirting Board Replacement
complete ordinary decorative skirting runs in sound accessible rooms
Common situations
Internal corners, external corners and returns affect the cutting and joining plan. Rooms are not assumed perfectly square from a sketch. The aim is suitable ordinary decorative joints, with any existing wall irregularity discussed before promising a flawless straight line.
Show the finished floor and any planned change to flooring. The new skirting needs an agreed position at that junction. Decorative trim is not a way to conceal unresolved floor movement, and flooring alteration is not automatically part of a skirting replacement quote.
Suitable fixings depend on the sound wall and trim material. Hidden services and uncertain substrate need care before drilling. This ordinary decorative task does not include structural wall repairs or permission to attach trim wherever a fixing happens to hold.
Planning the work
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Arrange any separately quoted painting after preparation dries. Keep the profile reference for future matching maintenance. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Send each complete run, room measurements, profile details and floor junctions, showing corners and existing damage. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Remove the agreed decorative runs, fit compatible replacement skirting with suitable joints and fixings, and prepare the agreed finish. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.

Service overview
Measure each complete run and identify door breaks, returns and short sections. This service concerns replacing ordinary runs, while an isolated small damaged spot may suit existing skirting repair. A clear take-off avoids treating a room fit as a series of unrelated patch jobs.
Old adhesive, nails and paint can affect removal and surrounding finishes. Show the condition before work is agreed. Some local making-good may need separate scope; replacing a run should not be sold as guaranteed damage-free removal from every existing wall.
Height, thickness and shape affect the match with adjoining trim. Send a profile sample or product specification before ordering lengths. A close front-view resemblance may still leave a different projection at door surrounds or corners, so compatibility needs review.
Remove the agreed decorative runs, fit compatible replacement skirting with suitable joints and fixings, and prepare the agreed finish. Scope limits: Complete ordinary decorative runs only. No structural wall work, hazardous materials, concealed-service alterations or repair of underlying floor movement.

FAQ
Complete ordinary decorative runs only. No structural wall work, hazardous materials, concealed-service alterations or repair of underlying floor movement. Describe any additional requirement separately. Suitability is reviewed before work is accepted, and a specialist requirement must not be treated as a routine extension of the quoted handyman task.
Send each complete run, room measurements, profile details and floor junctions, showing corners and existing damage. Keep the immediate work area accessible and remove ordinary belongings where safe. Discuss heavy furniture, fragile items and access restrictions before the appointment so the required preparation is clear.
Clarify filling, preparation and whether painting is included. Factory-primed material may still need finishing after installation. A fitted run and a fully decorated room are different outcomes, so the quote should identify who completes each stage.
Review replacement lengths, profile and floor clearances before agreeing removal and fitting on sound ordinary wall support. Provide any available product information, previous repair history or material details. A photograph supports an initial discussion but cannot confirm hidden condition, internal components or every fixing requirement.
Remove the agreed decorative runs, fit compatible replacement skirting with suitable joints and fixings, and prepare the agreed finish. Timing depends on the actual condition, access, quantities and required stages. Any parts or drying requirements are considered when scheduling; a fixed completion time cannot be promised from the service name alone.
Remove the agreed decorative runs, fit compatible replacement skirting with suitable joints and fixings, and prepare the agreed finish. The quote identifies the actual item, components and extent of work. An enquiry for one task does not automatically include every related item in the room or property.
Review replacement lengths, profile and floor clearances before agreeing removal and fitting on sound ordinary wall support. Unexpected damage, incompatible materials or access limitations should be discussed before extending the work. A photo enquiry is not authorisation for additional tasks or a promise to resolve every concealed problem.
