Service overview
the component no longer sits level, opens or supports ordinary use as intended. Remove the agreed decorative runs, fit compatible replacement skirting with suitable joints and fixings, and prepare the agreed finish.
Signs: a practical repair or compatible installation needs a clear product and access review or the component no longer sits level, opens or supports ordinary use as intended. Causes: ordinary wear, loose compatible fixings or minor fitting movement or an incomplete assembly or a mismatched replacement component.
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.

adjust or repair a suitable existing item. fit a compatible supplied component after checking measurements and instructions. Limits: Complete ordinary decorative runs only. No structural wall work, hazardous materials, concealed-service alterations or repair of underlying floor movement.
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.
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.
