How The Skirting Cover Rebate Works
Step 1: Measure
Measure your existing skirting height and select a cover 25mm taller. The rebate accommodates boards up to 19mm thick.
Step 2: Apply
Apply strong construction adhesive to the rebate area. The hollow space also accommodates pipes and cables behind existing boards.
Step 3: Position
Slide the cover over your existing skirting. The weight and adhesive hold everything securely - no visible fixings needed in most cases.

Where Skirting Covers Make Sense
Pipe Concealment
Central heating pipes, radiator feeds, and cables that run along walls. The rebate handles both your existing skirting and the pipework in one installation.
Rental Properties
Perfect when you can't remove existing features or need reversible improvements. Covers can be removed later without wall damage.
Damaged Skirting
Scuffs, dents, paint buildup, or pet damage disappear completely under the new cover. Much faster than sanding and repainting old boards.

Installation Tips
Measuring Accurately
Measure existing skirting height and thickness. If your skirting is 130mm tall, choose the 145mm cover height from our dropdown options.
Corner Solutions
If your cover will be thicker than adjacent architrave, use plinth blocks to create a neat transition between the trim elements.
Strong Adhesive
Use construction adhesive like Demsun A30 applied to the rebate area. The 25mm thickness provides excellent bonding surface.
Made to Order in Birmingham
Every cover is cut to your exact specifications using precision CNC machinery. The rebate is machined after profile shaping to ensure accurate dimensions that fit your existing boards properly. No warehouse stock means consistent quality and fresh manufacturing.
