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. 

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. 

In general, here’s what you can expect when you book a skirting board service via Airtasker: 

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. 

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.  

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.  

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!

Help from a carpenter with skirting boards and adapting a cupboard

£100

Bessels Green, Kent

29th Jan 2023

I’m looking for a competent carpenter to help with two jobs. The first is with a cupboard that was built around our boiler (see photos). It serves a purpose so far as it looks good, but It’s been built in such a way that it when a heating engineer arrived to service our boiler last week, the woodwork obstructs the boiler’s casing so much that the cover of a the boiler can’t be slid forwards as it’s designed to. We need to find a solution so the boiler can be accessed, I'm thinking perhaps using some kind of clips? The other job is some skirting boards and architrave around doors. There’s skirting boards to go onto three walls, totalling around 7 meters with a few joins (see photos). Plus architrave on two door frames. As you can see from the photos; I have given this a go already but have realised it’s beyond my skill level and so I’d rather start from scratch and hire a professional! I’ll supply all materials and do have various tools here, let’s chat before the job to ensure we have everything we need. - Due date: Flexible

Ibunken did a better job than I was able to fitting architrave and skirting boards, thank you Ibunken! However, he wasn’t able to complete the job despite a first visit where he evaluated the job and asked me to purchase materials; so overall a bit disappointing. Communication and timekeeping could have been better, but polite and friendly.

Install skirting boards

£100

Upper Shirley, Greater London

10th Dec 2022

I'm looking for someone to install baseboards in my flat. I already have 10 boards à 4200mm so the work should be limited to cutting and installing the boards. I also have a glue gun with two cartridges if this helps reduce material cost. One corner is blocked by heating pipes; I am hoping that those could be covered up by skirting (or other) board but happy to listen to alternative ideas. The outer walls are slightly sloped, which needs be considered when fitting the skirting in those corners. The photos show the old skirting boards in one of the rooms but I will remove those myself ahead of time. The skirting needs to be installed alongside the walls and black lines as shown on the floor plan, excluding the kitchen and bathroom.

Additionally, we would also like a mirror to be hung over the mantelpiece in the same room. Tasker would need to bring own tools but we can provide grab adhesive, wall plugs, and nails/screws. Thanks in advance!
