Skirting Board Replacement
complete ordinary decorative skirting runs in sound accessible rooms
Common situations
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.
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.
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.
Planning the work
Review replacement lengths, profile and floor clearances before agreeing removal and fitting on sound ordinary wall support. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
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.
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.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Gardenvale property context
Planning skirting board replacement in Gardenvale starts with the actual item and its setting. Send each complete run, room measurements, profile details and floor junctions, showing corners and existing damage. The address identifies the locality; it does not establish the construction, condition or accessibility of the property. Gardenvale sits near Elsternwick, Caulfield South, Brighton and Caulfield. Fix Nik can review practical maintenance requests across this part of Greater Melbourne, with the job scope and property conditions guiding timing, materials and the appropriate service.
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
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
Send each complete run, room measurements, profile details and floor junctions, showing corners and existing damage. Explain which spaces need to remain usable and who can arrange access. The appointment and preparation are agreed around the actual work; an occupied room should not be assumed to be clear or ready.
Skirting lengths need a practical delivery and handling route. Mention stairs, narrow halls and room access before purchasing. The final run measurement alone does not show whether a long board can be brought into the workspace without additional joints or handling constraints.
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.
