Skirting Board Installation & Replacement
Skirting board installation is one of the quickest ways to transform any room. Whether you need skirting board replacement after plastering work or you're changing skirting boards for a fresh look, we handle the complete service.
New skirting boards make a huge difference. We regularly work in Swansea's 1930s semis where homeowners are amazed at how much brighter their rooms look with crisp, new profiles.
Our installation includes:
- Careful removal of old boards
- Precise measuring and cutting
- Professional fixing using the right method for your walls
- Filling and sanding ready for painting
- Complete cleanup
We work with all Swansea wall types - solid stone in period homes, cavity brick in post-war houses, and modern stud walls. Each needs a different approach for the best results.
Architrave Installation & Doorway Finishing
Door architrave installation completes your room's look. Perfect joints and clean lines make all the difference between amateur and professional results.
When we fit architrave around doors, precision matters. Swansea's older homes often have doorframes that aren't perfectly square. We have the skills to make everything look perfect despite these challenges.
Door frame architrave fitting involves:
- Perfect mitre cuts at every corner
- Consistent gaps around the frame
- Smooth fitting against walls and frames
- Proper prep work for your chosen finish
Many customers update architraves when getting new doors fitted. This creates a fresh, cohesive look throughout your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to replace skirting boards?
Professional replacement involves removing old boards carefully, measuring precisely, cutting new ones to fit, and fixing them securely. While possible as DIY, professional fitting guarantees perfect results and saves time.
Best way to attach skirting boards?
This depends on your wall type. We use appropriate fixings for plasterboard, masonry fixings for solid walls, plus adhesive where needed. Each wall type needs a different approach.
How long does installation take?
A typical room takes half to one day. Larger or more complex jobs take longer. We'll give you realistic timescales with your quote.
Do you work in period properties?
Absolutely. Much of our work is in Swansea's period homes. We understand their unique challenges and maintain their character while delivering modern standards.
Who can replace skirting boards?
Anyone can attempt it, but professional installation ensures the best results. We have the right tools and experience to handle challenges, especially in older Swansea properties.
