Frequently Asked Questions about Skirting board repair in Ottery St Mary
Can damaged skirting be repaired or does it need replacing?
Depends on the damage. Dents and chips can be filled. Loose sections can be refixed. Severely damaged or rotten lengths need replacing. We'll advise on the best approach.
Can you match my existing skirting profile?
Usually yes. Common profiles are readily available. Unusual period profiles may need sourcing or can sometimes be made up. We'll check and advise.
Why has my skirting come away from the wall?
Usually building movement or poor original fixing. Modern fixing methods are more secure. We'll refix properly using appropriate fixings for your wall type.
Should I repair before redecorating?
Yes - repair first, then paint. It's much easier to fill and sand before painting, and the finish will be much better.
