What does a skirting board service include?
You can request for skirting board fitting and repair right here on Airtasker. Our experts take care of buying the skirting boards and bringing the necessary tools for the job. You can also opt to get these yourself and just book this service to take care of the actual labour.Â
The exact details of what a skirting board expert can or can’t do may vary. That’s why it’s best to make your task post as detailed as possible. This helps potential Taskers evaluate your request better and come up with a suitable offer.Â
In general, here’s what you can expect when you book a skirting board service via Airtasker:Â
Skirting board materials and tools
Just like with any other construction job, you’ll need materials and tools. Your tradesman takes care of buying the skirting boards, depending on what you specified in the task post in terms of length and height. In case you don’t have anything in mind yet, they may stop by your location first, do a bit of measuring, then go to your local hardware.Â
They also arrive with the necessary tools in tow. These include a coping saw, ear muffs, safety glasses, a nail gun, a tape measure, and a hammer. If you already have some of these materials at home, you could ask your tradesman to bring only the ones that aren’t in your toolbox. It all depends on your preference and what your skirting board service requires.
Fitting or installing skirting boards
Your tradesman begins by measuring each part of the wall and marking the skirting boards. They’ll cut the boards at 45-degree angles, then cut the scribed joint. The scribed joint makes sure that the boards line up nicely at the corners of the room. Â
Then, they cut the skirting board at 90-degree angles on both ends and start attaching it to the wall. They’ll take the board with the scribed joint, cut it to size, then push it against this first skirting board. Once they’re happy with the fit, your tradesman attaches it to the first board.
After that, it’s pretty much the same process all around the room - or every room in your house. Â
Redoing skirting boards
Skirting boards protect your wall from wear and tear, so you’ll inevitably have to redo them after years of living in your home. This process is pretty much the same as installation, except that your tradesman has to remove the current skirting boards first. This involves removing any cables or obstructions, breaking the plaster, removing the skirting boards, and getting rid of nails and screws. It’s a rather tedious process, so it’ll take longer and possibly cost more compared to starting in a bare room.
Working with skirting boards can get pretty messy, so it’s advisable to get after-builders cleaning to tidy up your house afterwards. Don’t tire yourself picking up after your handymen or construction workers - get cleaning experts to do it instead!

Remove and install new skirting board
$1,000
Coburg VIC 3058, Australia
4th Jun 2026
Seeking quote inclusive of airtasker fee, replacing the skirting boards with new ones in an older Californian bungalo. Must have appropriate insurance and looking for a carpenter. Quotes can be inclusive of material for a Victorian/Colonial skirting, or i can propvide it. The older skirting needs to be disposed too. Currently in the process of removing the carpet and restoring the timber floors, which has exposed a relatively large gap between the floor and the existing skirting boards—up to 20 mm in some areas. I would also like the gaps sealed to help improve insulation and heating efficiency. Quad or scotia may not be suitable, although I'm open to considering those options, if appropriate. There are two rooms (with robes) that definitely require work, each measuring approximately 4 m x 4 m. Depending on the cost, I would also be open to having other areas (up to 64sqm) of the house completed. Job needs to be commenced after the 14th of June, to allow for the ocmpletion of the floor restoration. Thank you!
Detach/re-attach/patch skirting boards on plastered brick wall
$320
Balaclava VIC 3183, Australia
1st Jun 2026
THIS IS TASK 2 of 2 (SEE OTHER TASK) I need sections of existing skirting boards to be removed/cut out so an electrician can access the space behind them to install additional power points. The apartment is 80+ years old so the skirting boards are painted solid oak. Once the wall space behind the skirting boards is confirmed (Task 1 of 2), I’ll need you to: 1. detach 4x pieces of skirting (each approximately 2-3m) from the plastered brick walls. Apartment is 1950’s so the plaster is textured/rough like many walls from that era. 3. Return after the electrician has installed the required electrical extensions, to reattach the skirting. I’ll patch and paint it but happy to negotiate a price if this work interests you. Location is Balaclava. Access on all days except Wednesday during business hours.

Replace rotten door jamb section + damaged skirting board
$500
South Yarra VIC, Australia
1st Mar 2026
I have timber rot in the lower section of an external ground floor door frame (bottom of the jamb on one side). The timber is soft and needs to be properly cut out and repaired or replaced. There is also a section of internal skirting board nearby that needs replacing to match the existing profile. Scope: - Cut out and replace rotten section of door jamb - Replace damaged internal skirting board (ideally is but doesn’t need to be a perfect match) - Leave ready for painting The door opens onto a brick-paved courtyard. There may be moisture contributing to the damage, so I’m looking for someone experienced who can advise on the correct long-term fix. This is an older solid brick home in Melbourne. Please respond only if you: - Are a qualified carpenter or experienced in timber frame repairs - Have replaced door jamb sections before - Can splice timber neatly rather than patching with filler Happy for a site visit before quoting. I’ve attached photos of both the inside (where the issue presents) and the external side of the same doorframe.
Thank you Adelino! Went above and beyond, incredible craftsmanship
