Skirting installation in Runaway Bay
Skirting is one of the last things installed and the first thing people notice. In Runaway Bay we get called most often after new flooring goes in, when the old boards have been lifted or no longer sit down cleanly on the new floor level.
Runaway Bay is an established northern Broadwater suburb with a strong owner-occupier base. A lot of homes here are on their first major renovation after thirty or forty years.
Single-level brick-and-tile homes from the 1980s, canal-front properties along the Bayview streets, and low-rise units near the Shopping Village. Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and outdoor living upgrades are the bread and butter.
Homes closer to the Broadwater need corrosion-resistant fixings and careful external detailing. Older slab-on-ground homes often need moisture testing and levelling before hybrid or timber flooring goes down - we test rather than assume.
We quote after seeing the job. Wall condition, floor level, profile choice, how much old skirting has to come off and whether the walls need patching behind all change the price, so we sort that out before you commit.
Skirting work we carry out
Square-set, colonial and modern profiles
Profile choice sets the character of the room. Square-set and half-splayed boards read modern and clean, colonial and lambs tongue profiles suit traditional interiors, and a taller board generally makes a room feel higher. We bring samples to the site visit so you can see the options against your floor and wall colour rather than guessing from a catalogue.
Filling, caulking and paint preparation
The finish is in the preparation. Nail holes are punched and filled, joins are sanded flush, and the top edge is caulked to the wall so there is no dark line once the room is painted. If you are painting yourself we leave it ready to go, and if we are managing the paintwork it is scheduled straight after.
Single rooms and small jobs
Not every job is a whole house. Replacing the skirting in one bedroom, fixing a section damaged by a washing machine leak, or trimming out a new wall after a renovation are all normal work for us. Small jobs get the same set out and finish as large ones, and we price them honestly rather than padding for a short visit.
Skirting in units and apartments
Apartment work in Runaway Bay means building access, lift bookings, work hours and noise restrictions. We handle the body corporate paperwork and schedule cutting so the mess and the noise stay contained. Concrete walls also change the fixing method, which we allow for at quote stage rather than discovering on the day.
New skirting board installation in Runaway Bay
For new builds, extensions and full renovations we set out the whole house at once so heights, profiles and returns are consistent from room to room. Boards are cut with mitred externals and scribed internals rather than mitres on both, because scribed joints stay tight when the timber moves. Fixings are punched, filled and sanded so nothing telegraphs through the paint.
Replacing old or damaged skirting
Old boards come off carefully so the plasterboard behind survives. Where the wall is chewed up from previous removal, water damage or a floor sander, we patch and make good before the new skirting goes on. Replacement is also the point to reconsider the profile, since a taller board often suits the room better than what was originally there.
Why choose Orange Projects
Skirting is finishing carpentry. The work is done by qualified carpenters who scribe, pack and adjust rather than force a board into place and fill the gap.
You get an itemised fixed price after a site visit covering removal, supply, installation and finishing, so there are no surprises mid job.
Cutting is set up to keep dust down, offcuts and old boards are removed, and rooms are left swept and ready for the next trade.
Holes filled, joins sanded, top edge caulked. The room is handed over paint ready rather than needing a second round of preparation.
