Skirting Board Fitters offer a full range of services from installing new boards to replacing old or damaged ones and expertly managing difficult corners. If you’ve purchased skirting boards from a store like Chandwicks or Woodies they can handle everything from accurate measuring to cutting and fixing to the wall. Skirting is usually fixed to the wall using adhesive or nails or a combination of the two. Many of our Taskers are professional carpenters who can install many other things like wall panelling, laminate flooring or hanging doors. Skirting boards will need to be finished with calking, filling and painting, which are mostly completed by decorators rather than carpenters.

Yes, skirting boards can be fitted over uneven walls with the right materials and skillset. Our Taskers can assess your walls and use a combination of adhesive, screws and filler to ensure a professional looking finish, no matter how uneven or damaged the surface is.
Old skirting should be removed. While you can do that yourself, it might be better to get someone with experience as doing it incorrectly can damage the wall.

This will depend on what you’ve agreed with your Tasker. Some skirting board fitters may include the cost of materials in their pricing and supply everything themselves, while others may expect you to provide the skirting boards, adhesive, and any other materials needed for the job. It's always a good idea to clarify this before hiring a fitter, so you know whether you'll need to purchase materials or if they will take care of it for you. Skirting materials can be easily sourced in your local builders merchants.
