The Situation

New Trims Lift Every Room in the House

Taller, simpler skirting and door trims make rooms feel more generous. The job is over in days with you still living there.

For the money it is one of the best value changes in an older home, and the old trims usually date an interior more than the paint colour does.

  • Short, fussy trims that date the whole house
  • Gaps under the skirting where the floor is not level
  • Corners that have opened up and been filled repeatedly
  • Trims cut about and patched during earlier work
  • So many coats of paint that the shape has disappeared
How We Do It

Cut to Follow the Floor

Floors in older houses are rarely level, so skirting cut straight will show a wedge of daylight along the wall.

Cutting each board to follow the floor takes longer and it is the only way to get a line that sits down tight the whole length.

  • Take the old trims off carefully to limit damage to the plaster
  • Help you pick a height and style that suits the ceilings
  • A written quote covering the rooms you want done
  • Skirting cut to follow the floor rather than straight
  • Corners cut tight, nail holes filled, ready for paint

    Tyler did an outstanding job recladding my mum's home in her over-55s village. From start to finish, his communication was excellent, and his pricing was fair and reasonable. He kept us informed every step of the way, discussed all aspects of the job clearly, and made sure we understood our options. He was always on time, worked efficiently, and the quality of his workmanship was exceptional. Tyler was reliable, professional, and took pride in his work.

Asked Questions

Skirting & Architrave Questions

  • It is priced by linear metre plus the openings for architraves, so the size of the house drives it. It is one of the better value changes in an older home. We measure up and quote in writing.

  • Usually a few days for the carpentry, then painting after. Removing the old trims and making good the plaster behind them is often as much work as installing the new.

  • Taller generally reads better and makes rooms feel more generous. Something in the range of 135 to 185 millimetres suits most homes, with the taller end suiting higher ceilings. We will hold samples up in the room before you decide.

  • Sometimes. Many older profiles are no longer made, and a near match usually looks worse than a deliberate change. Where only one room is affected we will look hard for a match first.

  • We fill the nail holes and sand ready for paint. The painting itself is better done by a painter, and we can recommend one if you do not have someone.

  • Yes. We work across the City of Casey, the City of Knox, Cardinia Shire and Greater Dandenong. See areas we serve for your suburb.

Skirting and Architraves Across Melbourne's South East

A Cheap Change With a Real Effect

Replacing trims through a house costs a fraction of a renovation and changes how every room reads. A taller, simpler skirting and a matching square-edged architrave update a 1980s or 1990s interior more effectively than repainting does.

It is also non-disruptive. You keep using the house throughout, and the whole job is over in under a week including paint.

Doing It With Other Work

The trims come off anyway when flooring is replaced or when doors are changed, so those are the natural moments to upgrade them rather than refitting what was there.

The same goes for wall panelling, where the capping, the skirting and the architrave all need to relate to each other and are best chosen together.
