What this service can cover

Skirting and architraves in Melbourne: scope, options and first checks

Skirting and architraves finish the junctions around floors, doors and windows. A good scope considers wall straightness, floor levels, profile matching, mitres, returns and the intended paint or timber finish.

A typical enquiry begins when trim is missing, damaged, mismatched, pulling away, or needs replacement after new flooring, plaster or door work. The proposed item, photos, access and intended result are reviewed before materials, timing and the appropriate assessment path are discussed.

Common questions

Questions about skirting and architraves

Can new skirting match an old profile?

Sometimes. A measured section or offcut is the best reference; otherwise a close compatible profile may be discussed.

Does skirting go on before or after flooring?

The sequence depends on the flooring system and desired finish. It should be agreed before either trade starts.

Can gaps behind skirting be hidden?

Small irregularities can often be managed, but large wall or floor deviations may need separate preparation.

Are architraves only decorative?

They finish the joint between the jamb and wall lining and influence clearances, reveals and the room's visual alignment.

Is painting included?

Painting is confirmed separately. The carpentry scope can identify whether trims are pre-primed, filled or ready for a painter.

For Victorian domestic building work, registration, permit and contract requirements depend on the work type and value. The final scope must remain within the appropriate practitioner and trade boundaries.
