About this service

What this service involves

Skirting boards and doors take more knocks than any other surface in a home, so they need a properly prepared, hard-wearing finish. A decorator fills dents and nail holes, sands smooth, primes any bare timber, and applies a durable topcoat cut in cleanly against the walls. Tell us which rooms need attention and we'll help connect you with a local professional.

Why use a professional

The benefit of getting it done properly

Practical reasons a professional finish is worth it for this kind of work.

  • Hard-wearing finish

    Durable topcoats stand up to vacuum knocks and foot traffic.

  • Smooth surface

    Filled and sanded so dents and joins disappear under the paint.

  • Clean lines

    Neat cutting in against the walls frames the room properly.

  • Fresh, bright feel

    Crisp white skirting and doors lift a tired room instantly.
