Skirting Board Installation in Mere Green
New skirting boards installed and finished across Mere Green (B75). Profile picked to suit the property, mitres cut tight, joints filled and caulked, then primed and painted as part of the same job. Mere Green sits a couple of minutes from our base and is one of our most regular working areas.
Skirting is one of those details that quietly defines how finished a room feels. In Mere Green we usually fit MR-MDF profiles (Torus, Ogee, Bullnose or a simple square edge depending on the property style), with mitred external corners and scribed internal joints rather than coped or cut-and-stick joins.
The housing stock around Mere Green runs from solid inter-war family homes off Lichfield Road through to more recently built detached properties on the streets backing onto the green. A lot of our work here involves bringing tired interiors back up to a standard the rest of the house already meets — and matching the quality of the original joinery. On most of the older homes around here the original skirting is higher than modern standard — 145mm or 170mm rather than the contemporary 119mm — and we'll match that profile properly rather than dropping a smaller modern stick in.
Every skirting job in Mere Green is filled, caulked, primed and top-coated as part of the install. You don't get a separate "painter visit" afterwards — it's one team and one finished result.

Mere Green — common questions.
What skirting profiles do you fit in Mere Green?+
Anything sensible — Torus, Ogee, Bullnose, square edge, or a tall Victorian profile to match a period home in Mere Green. We'll bring samples to the survey if you're undecided.
Will you remove the old skirting?+
Yes. We lift the existing skirting, check the wall behind it, and either reuse what's there or fit new — your choice. Disposal of old timber is included.
Does the new skirting come painted?+
We paint it on site as part of the install — primer, two top coats of water-based eggshell, and a clean caulked line into the wall.
Can you fit skirting at the same time as flooring?+
Yes — that's the ideal sequence: lift old skirting, fit floor, fit new skirting tight to the floor, then paint.
How long does a typical room take?+
A standard bedroom usually takes a day for the install and a day for the painting. Larger projects are scheduled with a written programme.
