Skirting, architrave and general joinery

Skirting and architrave changed through a whole house, panelling to a wall, shelving in an awkward corner, a window board replaced, or the list of small joinery jobs that has been building up since the last trade left.

Covering the whole of the Wirral, Liverpool and Merseyside.

A few questions, photographs or drawings if you have them, and a written price after a look at the job.

Photographs help on a domestic job. On a commercial one the drawings are the quickest way to a real price. PDFs are fine.

01How we do it

How it is done

Skirting is scribed into internal corners rather than mitred, because a mitre in a corner that is not ninety degrees opens up and a scribe does not. External corners are mitred and pulled together properly.

Changing the skirting and architrave through a house is one of the cheapest things that makes it feel different, and it is worth doing in one go: the same profile everywhere, the same height, and the architrave sitting on a consistent margin off the lining.

We also take on the jobs that are too small for most people to turn out for, as part of a day or half a day on site. It is usually more useful to put a list together than to call about one of them.

03Our work

No photographs of this one yet.

Every picture on this site is a McGuinness Joinery job. We have not photographed skirting, architrave & general joinery yet, and a stock image of somebody else's work would tell you nothing about ours, so there is nothing here rather than something borrowed.

Ask when we come out to measure and we will show you what we have done.

04Questions

What people ask.

Is it worth changing the skirting if the walls are not being decorated?
Honestly, usually not. Taking skirting off damages the wall below the line, so it is best done when the room is being decorated anyway. We will say so rather than take the work.
Will you come out for one small job?
It is better value for both of us if you put a list together. A half day or a day on site gets through a surprising amount.
