Installation of PVC skirting boards with a cable channel

PVC Skirting Boards With Cable Channel Installation

PVC skirting boards with a cable channel are a practical finishing touch that makes a room look clean while keeping wires neatly hidden. They protect the base of the wall from bumps, moisture, and everyday wear, and they create a tidy transition between the wall and the floor. This service is ideal for homes, offices, rentals, and commercial spaces where you want a durable finish and a safer way to route cables.

We supply and install PVC skirting to suit your interior, whether you are updating one room or completing a full renovation. The integrated cable channel can accommodate common low voltage wiring such as internet, TV, and speaker cables, keeping them accessible without leaving them exposed.

What You Get With Our Installation Service

Neat finish that fits your room

We cut and fit skirting boards precisely, including internal corners, external corners, and end caps. Joints are aligned for a consistent look along every wall. Where required, we also recommend matching accessories so the cable channel remains continuous and the finish looks intentional, not patched together.

Safe and accessible cable routing

The cable channel is designed for quick access. You can add or replace cables later without removing the whole skirting line. We position cables to reduce kinks and pressure points, and we keep separation between low voltage and other lines when needed.

Compatibility with your floor and renovation plans

Skirting installation is often done alongside other flooring services so levels and gaps are handled correctly. If your project includes new flooring, we coordinate the skirting height and edge coverage to suit the finished floor thickness and any underlay.

Our Step by Step Installation Process

1. Site check and measurement We measure perimeter runs, note corners, door frames, radiators, and any existing cable routes. We confirm the skirting profile, height, and color you want.
2. Surface preparation We clean and dry the wall edge, remove loose paint or old adhesive, and ensure the base line is sound. Minor irregularities are addressed so the skirting sits flush.
3. Planning the cable channel We identify where cables need to enter and exit, for example near sockets, router points, or TV areas. We create neat openings and ensure the channel remains serviceable.
4. Cutting and fitting We cut each piece to size, test fit, then fix the boards securely. Corners are formed with accurate mitres or corner elements depending on the chosen system.
5. Finishing touches We fit covers, caps, and connectors, then check alignment and stability. The result is a clean line that protects the wall and hides cables effectively.

Where PVC Skirting With Cable Channel Works Best

This solution is popular in spaces that need a durable, easy to maintain perimeter finish, especially where cables would otherwise be visible. It is also a smart option if you want future flexibility without opening walls.

• Living rooms and bedrooms with TV, internet, and speaker cables
• Home offices where tidy cable management improves safety and appearance
• Rental properties where robust finishes reduce maintenance
• Retail and commercial interiors where cables must be discreet
• Renovations that combine skirting upgrades with skirting board installation and new floor finishes

Material Benefits and Practical Considerations

Why PVC is a strong choice

PVC skirting is moisture resistant and easy to wipe clean, making it suitable for kitchens, hallways, and other high traffic zones. It does not warp like some natural materials in humid conditions, and it holds up well to everyday scuffs. Many profiles are designed to accommodate slight wall unevenness, helping deliver a crisp result even in older properties.

Important notes about cable capacity

Cable channels vary by skirting profile. During planning we confirm what you need to run through the channel and whether additional capacity is required. For thicker cables or multiple runs, we can recommend a deeper profile or a different routing strategy to keep the cover closing properly and to avoid heat buildup.

Coordination with flooring edges

The skirting should cover the expansion gap of floating floors and sit correctly against glued floors. If you are scheduling new floors, we can align the skirting choice with your floor covering plan so the finish looks seamless and performs as expected.

Pricing and Scheduling

Costs depend on the room perimeter, skirting height and profile, the number of corners, and the complexity of cable routing. We provide a clear quote based on measurements and your preferences, including any accessories needed for a consistent finish. Appointments are arranged at a time that suits you, and we aim to complete standard rooms efficiently while maintaining careful workmanship.

If you want a cleaner look, better wall protection, and a practical way to hide cables without losing access, PVC skirting boards with a cable channel are a reliable upgrade that makes a visible difference in everyday comfort.
