How to fit skirting over skirting (skirting board covers)

In this video we show you how to fit skirting board covers.

Skirting board covers help to replace existing skirting board without the need to remove the old ones. This helps reduce the risk of damaging the wall.

Very useful thank you! I also watched your video with the 3 options for finishing the ends with the architrave but I’m still wondering - how does it work up stairs? Particularly stairs with carpet?

[patlaverty]

These look great. Is there an architrave version?

When fitting new laminate flooring, can you use skirting board covers instead of a scotia trim? (I want ultimately to cover the existing skirting boards)

My current skirting is narrow so the 25mm dept stands of the old board .. how can I support it doesn’t move if hit ?

Skirting over board can you do and external angle video the 45’ internal angle vide was useful but have 1 external angle

Hi. Do you have any lower profile ones? I want as minimal extra bulk as possible

What about when you get to a door frame will it not look funny not being flush with the door frame?

[superiorbeing]

Can you put skirting board covers over skirting board covers?

[mistique]

How do I finish off the end of the skirting board once it has been covered over?

I want to blend it in with the door frame and not stick out.

[rodgerq]

That's a great idea! Is it just an Ogee skirting with some ply for the front drop?

[mrdazmandaz]

What happens when you reach the door frame though - how do you make that look good when the frame is already flush with the old skirting?

[mistique]

How do you get the gap at the back of the new Skirting to fit over old?

[philrichmond]

I think I'll just remove old skirting and start afresh. Easier

[paulbackhard]

Looks terrible why not take the old skirting off and just fit normal skirting ?
