Replacing Skirting Board

jamminca69

When i had new flooring fitted, one of the skirting boards was dropped and split in 2. We have been using it pushed against wall but time has come to replace it with a new 3m of skirting.

Armed with piece of old skirting we went to usual places inc local timber yards but no one seems to have our skirting boards, they are either too thick or too high compared to ours and for 3m no one wants to make a custom one. Would have been in house when built some 12 years ago, they are mdf and we have been told of ogee style.

I have found some places on the web that have similar patterns but are too big. Ours are 14.5mm thick and 94mm high.

Anyone know of any good places that i can try? The closest i have found are these guys http://www.selecttimber.co.uk/mdf/mdf001.html but even then the thickness is 18mm and the pattern doesnt quite match up.

Before i resort to buying anything similar to fit (behind curtains so wont be totally obvious) thought id see if there was another way.

Not sure should it? I have measured the piece and it is just short of 15mm thick and on the site i found the sizes for the ogee were 12mm, 14.5mm or 18mm so assumed it was 14.5mm.
