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.
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.
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.
Service overview
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
FAQ
