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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
West Melbourne property context
An occupied West Melbourne 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. For a West Melbourne quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
Service overview
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.
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.
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.

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.

Any limitations, unfinished stages or separate work should be explained at handover. Keep relevant product information and tell Fix Nik if the original issue returns rather than making repeated improvised adjustments.
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.
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.
