Skirting boards & coving

Skirting, mouldings and coving have a whole range of uses, including holding glass in place in doors and windows, hiding expansion gaps and joins, or just adding a decorative touch to an interior.

Whether you’re replacing an existing one or adding a skirting board to an extension or revamped room, follow our steps below to fit your skirting boards.

Tongue-and-groove panelling is as attractive as it is hard-wearing. You can paint or stain it, or keep a natural wood finish if you prefer.

Using coving or a cornice adds a neat and decorative finish to the top of the walls, where they join with the ceiling. It's also a great way to hide any imperfections at the joins.
