- ✓Sourcing matched heritage and modern profiles
- ✓Mitred corners, scribing to uneven walls and floors
- ✓Gap filling, caulking, and prep so you (or we) can paint immediately
How we work
Our skirting board & architrave process
- 1
Profile match
We take a sample of your existing profile and source a match — Tasmanian Oak, MDF, or pine.
- 2
Fit cleanly
Mitred or scribed joints, glued and nailed, with all gaps caulked.
- 3
Paint-ready
We hand it back primed and filled so a painter (or you) can roll on a topcoat the same day.
Local context
Bondi heritage cottages often have 150–200mm wide skirting profiles you won't find at Bunnings. We source matching timber from specialty Sydney yards and scribe to the inevitably uneven floors.
Skirting Board & Architrave questions, answered
Do you paint the skirting too?
We can. Most clients ask us to prime and undercoat, then either we apply the topcoat or hand off to their painter.Can you match the old wide skirting in my Bondi terrace?
Usually yes. Heritage profiles are still available through specialty timber yards in Sydney; we source and fit.

Interior Painting
We paint Bondi homes the way the trim work should be done — full prep, gap-fill, sand, prime, two topcoats. Drop sheets on every floor, daily clean-down, low-VOC paints so you can sleep in the room the same night.
Door Repair & Installation
A door that won't close properly is the most common Bondi callout we get — usually because timber moves with the salt air and old terraces shift on their footings. We rehang, plane, replace hardware, or fit new doors entirely.
Plaster Crack Repair
Cracks in Bondi walls and ceilings come from two places — building movement and bad joints. We rake out, reinforce with mesh tape and flexible filler, and finish so the crack doesn't reopen at the next seasonal shift.
Gyprock Repair
Doorknob holes, furniture damage, plumbing-access cuts, and the inevitable removalist gouge — we patch gyprock invisibly. Three coats of compound, sanded flat, primed, ready for paint or handed back paint-ready for your decorator.
