Skirting Board Replacement
complete ordinary decorative skirting runs in sound accessible rooms
Common situations
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.
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.
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.
Planning the work
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.
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.
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.
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.
Heidelberg West property context
An occupied Heidelberg West property may need preparation before skirting board replacement can begin. Send each complete run, room measurements, profile details and floor junctions, showing corners and existing damage. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. A useful Heidelberg West enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
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.
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.
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
Remove the agreed decorative runs, fit compatible replacement skirting with suitable joints and fixings, and prepare the agreed finish. List each additional item with its own photos and dimensions. Compatible tasks can be considered together, but grouping an enquiry does not expand the service into electrical, plumbing, structural or other specialist work.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
