Professional skirting board replacement - damaged or rotten sections removed, matching profile fitted, proper corner joints. The result you couldn't achieve with repair alone.
### When Repair Won't Cut It
Sometimes skirting is beyond repair - **rotted, cracked, or so damaged that filling won't work**. Replacement gives you sound timber, proper finish, and a result that lasts.
> 🔄 **Fresh start.** New skirting replaces all the accumulated damage. No more filling over problems.

Frequently Asked Questions about Skirting board replacement in Exmouth
Can you match my existing skirting?
Usually yes. We source matching profiles from merchants or specialists. If an exact match isn't available, we'll discuss options - sometimes a close match works, or replacing a whole room gives a consistent look.
Why replace rather than repair?
Replacement is better when damage is extensive, timber is rotten, or you want to change the profile. Repair works for minor damage to sound timber.
Do you need to remove the whole length?
Not always. We can splice in a new section if the rest is sound. Joints are positioned at corners or behind furniture where less visible.
What happens to the wall behind?
Removing old skirting sometimes pulls off some plaster or reveals old damage. We'll make good any minor damage. Major wall repairs are separate.
