HOw much to have new skirting boards fitted?

Just having a small room replastered etc - newly levelled floor etc - no previous skirting board there (so none to remove)

Its a smallish room - 2 walls (x4m) and 2 walls (x2m) when you take out 2 doorways.

So we would need 12 metres length of skirting board.

How much should we expect to fit?

    a pack of skirting is about 20/25 quid.
    and expect to pay a handyman 50/100 quid to do the job. but its an easy diy job.
    Get some gorm.
  • Prices of the skirting depends on the size, style and material and will range in price from £1.50 per meter to £15 per meter.
    I fitted some last week, it was pine, 150mm torus profile and was £3.50 per meter.
    And £100 sounds about right for labour.
