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!

Service to decorate skirting boards & disassembly/reassembly wardrobe
£650
Stepney, Greater London, E1
10th Jun 2025
I have a fitted wardrobe that needs partial disassembly, so that a new floor can be installed. The disassembly in a previous room took 2 hours. Then I need it reinstalled, this previously took about 2.5-3 hours. In addition to this, I need skirting boards decorated once the floor is installed (about 25m in total length. the skirting boards will be installed by the floor fitters but will need painting/caulking/etc) I would ideally like the disassembly to occur on friday or saturday of this week, with the re-decoration and re-install on tuesday. The floors are being fitted on Monday, so wardrobe needs to be apart and removed by then, and then reinstalled asap afterwards I NEED you to have a VAT number so I can claim the cost back on insurance, so please don't quote if you cant supply a VAT invoice. Please see attached photos for some idea of the wardrobe. The doors lift off quite easily and theres not too much internal structure. The rails are just screwed in, and the wooden panels on the side are glued in.

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.

Tottenham Green, Greater London
10th May 2025
We're looking for someone to fit skirting board in a small dining area at the end of our kitchen, and a small section of the kitchen. We have the skirting board already but no appropriate tools for fitting. It's approx 4m worth of skirting to fit, around approx 9 corners total. Photos of the space attached (apols for the building related mess!). We can be flexible on dates but ideally need someone to come on either a Monday or a Wednesday from 9am to 3pm, as that's when our dog will be out and so won't bother you!


Alan arrived on time and did an excellent job showing great attention to detail. He also worked very quickly and left the place clean and tidy. Highly recommended.

I need some wall panelling in my ground floor hallway finished, a skirting board added at the bottom of the panelling and additional panelling above the shoe cabinets. Please see photos attached. The goal is to finish the job to a neat standard and cover up some of the dodgy edging of the vinyl flooring I had installed! I will prime and paint all the panelling myself so that is not to be included in the cost.

I am looking for someone to fit skirting boards in my bedroom. We have removed the old skirting boards so it is just installation of the new boards that we require.


Avoid at all costs. His work was disgraceful-gaps everywhere, misaligned boards, filler slapped on to hide mistakes, and nails sticking out. He didn’t measure angles properly, just guessed. Blamed the walls instead of owning up. Returned after we complained, unapologetic. I don't know how he left with a clear conscience the 1st time. Left the room messy and even damaged our newly restored floor. Unprofessional, careless, and utterly unqualified.
