How much do you think it would cost to replace all of the skirting boards and door frames in our 3 bed semi house?
House is quiet fuddy duddy decor and would like to update it. But I feel like it will be expensive?
But would also look weird not to do it all in one go?

Could you not do each room as you decorate? I think removing door frames & skirting can damage paintwork walls etc so that might be worse if you do it all at once!
No idea on cost I don't think it's particularly expensive if you're doing it yourself.

Is it easy to do meself? I think if we don't do it when we paint this time around we won't do it will we?
Maybe I need to learn diy!

Interested in this as well! We're probably replacing our internal doors this year and would prefer to do frames and skirting too as it might look rubbish. It's a bit of a can of worms isn't it?

You can get cutting blocks - yes existing skirting to see the angle of the cut

It’s not that difficult but you need the right tools

Dining room was £40 skirting - never had door frames done - but they do look a lot better when changed

Thanks. Might not end up doing all of the rooms, bit could definitely make a start. Everything in this house is so fussy 🤢
