Skirting Board Replacement
complete ordinary decorative skirting runs in sound accessible rooms
Common situations
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.
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.
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.
Planning the work
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.
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.
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.
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.
Westmeadows property context
Westmeadows sits within the existing Greater Melbourne coverage. For skirting board replacement, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. Review replacement lengths, profile and floor clearances before agreeing removal and fitting on sound ordinary wall support. For a Westmeadows 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
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.
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.
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.
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
