What does a skirting board service include?

Skirting board services cover everything from new installations to touch-ups and replacements. Here's what you can expect when you hire a Tasker:

Assessment & Material Selection

The Tasker will visit your property to assess the space, measure up, and recommend suitable styles and materials, such as MDF, softwood, hardwood, or PVC. They’ll factor in room type, damp resistance, and your design preferences.

Installation

For new builds or renovations, Taskers will cut and install skirting boards to precise specifications. Mitre joints, internal corners, and seamless fitting around doorframes and alcoves are standard.

Repair & Replacements

If your skirting is chipped, loose, or warped, Taskers can patch or replace damaged sections. They’ll match existing styles and ensure flush fitting.

Decorative Finishing

Services often include sanding, caulking, filling gaps, and applying primer or paint for a clean, finished look.

Optional Extras

Some Taskers also offer integrated cable concealment, skirting heating system installations, or specialist heritage moulding services for period homes.

Box in a bathtub and install skirting boards in a flat (40 sq m)

£800

Brixton, Greater London, SW9

30th Oct 2025

Hi, I’ve recently purchased a flat in Brixton and looking to get a couple of jobs done: 1. Boxing in a bathtub – I should say that the bathtub is a little wiggly. I’d like a neat and durable solution that complements the existing bathroom style. Also, I would need the wall behind the toilet panelled. I attached the picture of the bathroom so you can see its current state. 2. Installing skirting boards – This would be for the bedroom, livingroom and the hallway. I would need skirting boards for the halfway and living room. The bedroom has skirting boards but those aren’t installed. See pictures attached, there are pipes under the windows that i would like to be covered, would this be possible to do? Would you be able to provide me with an estimate of how much it would cost to 1) fix the bathroom and 2) install the skirting boards throughout the flat (floor plan attached).

Fix skirting board beneath dishwasher

Gospel Oak, Greater London

We've a base/skirting in our kitchen they no longer stays in place. Whenever the dishwasher is opened the board pops out again. It looks like the clipping mechanism has broken off. It's probably a simple and quick job for someone with the proper know how. I don't know how much it would cost so have only suggested a provisional budget.

I got a new washing machine and due a skirting board sticking out, I can't get it in. I need help removing the skirting board in this area so that I can slide it into place. See the photos. In the photo you can see how it chipped when we tried to shove it in. It does fit - is the same size as my old machine, but whoever put that one in must have fit the kitchen around it.

Helped me troubleshoot a niche carpentry task and had the job done in no time.
