Skirting boards protect walls and flooring from the knocks of daily living, conceal wiring and cables, and provide a finishing touch to a room.
For these reasons, the best option when removing, replacing, or installing skirting boards is to call the professionals at NexGen Tradies for a free fixed quote. NexGen Tradies will also provide materials at cost, a quality result that will stand the test of time, and a 12 month guarantee for the work.
Qualified personnel
Established more than 15 years and servicing Perth and Fremantle from Joondalup in the north to Mandurah in the south, NexGen Tradies’ qualified personnel have experience with a wide variety of architectural styles. They know that changing skirting boards can subtly or dramatically alter the look of a room.
They can offer advice on whether to repair or replace your skirting boards. And they can source the right skirting boards for you. For example, they are aware that couples with children and pets living in contemporary or modern homes need functional, inexpensive skirting boards.
Children can often draw on them with crayons and run their toys into them. Some pets may scratch the boards. So, while the children are young, budget-friendly is best. If your skirting boards become scuffed and damaged, you can have them replaced without breaking the bank. New skirting immediately refreshes and brightens the look of a room.
How to choose skirting
For the modern or contemporary home, the best skirting styles should be low to medium profile, plain and sleek. Bullnose is a great shape that is easy to keep clean and reasonably priced. It’s the best choice for young, busy families.
Options become more interesting when renovating a period home. You’ll need to select a profile that matches the era during which the house was built. NexGen Tradies can access these for you.
Federation homes have high ceilings so choose skirting boards that complement the height. Using the rule of thumb, make sure they are one eighteenth of the ceiling height and have a Federation profile.
Avoid mixing eras and remain true to the architecture. Close to Perth, in North Bridge, you will see Victorian terraced homes complete with ‘lace’ wrought iron, and scattered through the suburbs there are Federation homes, Californian Bungalows and Art Deco homes. It is possible to match each style accurately.
Whether you are a homeowner who is undertaking a renovation, or simply need to install, repair or repaint skirting in your family home, NexGen Tradies will get the job done with a minimum of fuss and will give you any advice you may need.
