The Art of the Finished Edge
Skirting boards and architraves are the picture frames of your rooms. They define the transition between floor and wall, conceal gaps, protect against damage, and quietly communicate quality.
At Aveexha, we treat these elements as architectural features—not afterthoughts. Every mitre is cut to perfection. Every join is seamless. Every curve is precisely crafted.
Whether you're renovating a Victorian terrace or building a minimalist penthouse, our joinery team delivers skirting and architraves that elevate the entire space.

Understanding what's involved at each stage of your skirting and architrave project.
Removal & Site Preparation
We carefully remove existing skirting and architraves, minimising wall damage. Old adhesive and nails are cleared, and walls are inspected for repairs needed before new installation.
Measurement & Cutting
Every wall length is laser-measured. We cut mitres and scribes with precision saws, accounting for wall irregularities. Internal and external corners are perfected before any adhesive is applied.
Fitting & Fixing
Professional-grade adhesive and discreet pinning. Scotia and beading are installed where required. For curved walls, we use flexible materials or segmented cuts to achieve a smooth radius.
Filling, Sanding & Finishing
All nail holes filled, mitres caulked, and surfaces sanded smooth. Your skirting and architraves are then ready for painting or staining by our team or yours.
Curved Skirting for Rounded Walls
Rounded walls add architectural interest but require specialist skirting solutions. We offer two approaches:
- Flexible MDF or PVC – Specially manufactured bendable boards that follow gentle curves seamlessly.
- Segmented Cuts – For tighter radii, we cut precise segments that combine to form a smooth arc.
No squared-off corners that break the flow. No visible joints. Just continuous, elegant curves.

What Our Clients Say
The details make the difference.
The mitre joints on our new skirting are invisible. Aveexha took the time to scribe every joint perfectly. Our Victorian home finally has the trim it deserves.
