Skirting board covers

Question

Are skirting board covers fitted before or after carpet

Jason · Accepted Answer

Skirting boards are fitted before the carpet is laid

Alexandru · Answer

They can be fitted even before the carpet goes down or after, either way depending on how the carpet man can do his job more easily and if will be after me I prefer to fit them after the carpet so that the edging of the carpet will be covered nicely

John · Answer

Before carpets are fitted, they are there to have a decorative finish between the walls and floor finish. The carpet grippers that hold the carpets in place are fixed to the floors next to the edge of the skirting boards.

Paul · Answer

If carpet goes underneath the skirting then it might be a struggle, more time consuming and cost more if you need to get underneath the floorboards, for every reason.  The carpet looks much neater and tidy up to the skirting instead of underneath the skirtings, on the other hand, wooden floors look much better underneath the skirtings!

Geoffrey · Answer

Skirting board is normally fitted prior to the carpet being fitted

Alasdair · Answer

It’s a better job if they are fitted before. Hope this helps

Would best be fit after the carpet as it can be paced down atop the carpet grips for extra carpet security

Skirting board covers need to apply after carpet fitting.

Paul · Answer

Joinery skirtings should be installed before carpet.

Ben · Answer

always fit the skirting board first and then carpet up to it.

Norman · Answer

Hi before as when you need to replace your carpet it would be difficult and skirtings may need to be removed. Also if your carpet needs stretching it will be impossible
