How much does skirting cost in Sutton?
Expect to pay between £182 and £402 , with an average cost of £269.
That said, skirting costs depend on material, height, profile, and fitting.
It’s also worth noting that labour costs can vary depending on room shape, wall condition, and whether old skirting is being replaced.
Tip: Check out our skirting board fitting cost guide for a full rundown on the prices involved.
What does skirting mean?
Skirting boards are narrow boards fixed along the bottom of internal walls, where the wall meets the floor. They’re used to:
- Cover gaps caused by flooring expansion
- Protect walls from knocks and scuffs
- Create a clean, finished look
Most UK homes have skirting in every main room, especially living spaces, hallways, and bedrooms.
What are the different types of skirting?
Popular types of skirting include:
- MDF skirting: Smooth, affordable, and easy to paint
- Softwood skirting: Natural look, good for period homes
- Hardwood skirting: Durable and premium, but higher cost
- Taller skirting boards: On-trend and suit high ceilings
Tip: Don’t forget to think about what decorative finish you’re after. Our trending skirting board ideas guide runs you though the different options, including square-edge profiles.
Can you fit skirting boards yourself?
Yes – but fitting skirting is not always as simple as it looks.
DIY skirting fitting may work if:
- Walls are straight
- You have a mitre saw and fixings
- You’re confident with measuring and cutting
However, uneven walls, awkward corners, or tall skirting boards can quickly make the job tricky.
That’s why many homeowners hire an experienced tradesperson for a job done right.
Can you put new skirting over old skirting?
In most cases, no, you can’t put new skirting over old skirting. Old skirting has to be removed first.
Fitting over existing boards can:
- Push skirting too far into the room
- Look bulky around doors and sockets
- Cause fixing problems
Removing old skirting allows for a cleaner finish and helps spot any wall or floor issues before new boards go on.
