Installation of moldings

Installation of Moldings

Moldings are the finishing touch that makes a room feel complete. Whether you are updating one wall or renovating an entire property, well fitted trim brings cleaner lines, protects edges, and helps floors and walls meet neatly. We install a wide range of interior moldings with careful measuring, crisp cuts, and a tidy finish that looks right up close, not just from across the room.

What We Install

Every home and business has different needs, so we help you choose the right profile, height, and material for the space. We can install new trim during a remodel or replace damaged sections to restore a consistent look.

• Skirting boards for a clean transition between wall and floor
• Architraves around doors and windows for a finished frame
• Coving and cornices to soften the ceiling line and add character
• Picture rails and decorative trims for traditional or modern styling
• Beading and quadrant for neat coverage where needed

If your molding work is part of a wider flooring project, we can coordinate the trim with your materials and levels. Many customers book moldings alongside skirting board installation so the result looks seamless throughout the room.

Our Process, From Measurement to Final Finish

Good molding installation is all about preparation and precision. We start by checking the walls, corners, and floor line because older properties often have slight waves or out of square corners. We then plan joint positions to keep visible seams to a minimum and to avoid weak joins near doorways or high traffic areas.

Accurate cuts and clean joints

Internal corners are handled with the right method for the material and profile, including coping where appropriate for tighter, more forgiving joints. External corners are reinforced and aligned so they stay sharp over time. When joining lengths, we use scarf joints where possible for a smoother look and better strength.

Secure fixing with a neat finish

Depending on the substrate and molding type, we use suitable fixings and adhesives to keep everything stable and flush. We fill and tidy fix points, then seal fine gaps for a smooth transition to walls and frames. If you plan to paint, we leave surfaces ready for decorating with minimal extra prep.

For rooms that are being upgraded from the ground up, we can align trim height and placement with your floor installation services so expansion gaps are properly covered and thresholds look intentional.

Materials and Options

Different materials suit different environments and budgets. We install common options and can advise on what performs best for your space, especially in areas with higher humidity or frequent cleaning.

• MDF for a smooth painted finish and consistent profiles
• Softwood for classic joinery and easy on site adjustment
• Hardwood for durability and premium detail
• PVC and moisture resistant trims for utility areas and damp prone rooms

We also help with practical details such as cable routes, radiator pipes, and uneven floor lines. Where needed, we can scribe trim to follow the floor for a more fitted look, or recommend alternative profiles that suit the building. If your project includes new surfaces like LVT or laminate, choosing the right molding depth and thickness helps avoid awkward steps and visible gaps, especially when combined with floor covering services.

Common Problems We Fix

Replacing or re fitting moldings can dramatically improve a room without major building work. If you have older trim that has shifted or been damaged, we can repair the look and improve how the room meets at the edges.

• Gaps at corners or along the wall due to movement or uneven surfaces
• Loose skirting boards caused by failed adhesive or weak fixings
• Cracked joints and open seams after temperature and humidity changes
• Rough finishes around doors after new flooring or repainting
• Water damage and swollen MDF in kitchens or hallways

We can often replace only the affected sections and blend the new work with existing trim. Where styles have changed or matching is difficult, we will suggest a practical solution such as re trimming a full wall run for consistency.

What to Expect on the Day

We work carefully in occupied homes and active premises. Before cutting, we confirm measurements and the final layout with you. We protect floors and nearby furniture where required, keep dust controlled, and clean up offcuts and packaging as we go. Once installed, we walk through the work with you to check corners, joints, and alignment, and we will highlight any areas that may need drying time before painting or decorating.

If you want moldings that look straight, sit tight to the wall, and finish your space with confidence, we are ready to help you plan and install trim that fits beautifully and lasts.
