Skirting and architrave: what the job involves

Fitting new skirting boards, architrave round doors and coving at the ceiling, with tight mitred or scribed corners that hide uneven walls. It is often done with new floors or doors, or after plastering, and the finish depends almost entirely on the quality of the joints.

How long it takes: About a day for a couple of rooms; longer for tall period skirting, many corners or uneven walls.

What affects the price

Total length and the number of corners and door openings
Profile, height and material
Uneven walls and floors that need scribing
Matching an existing period profile
Painting included or not
VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.
