Skirting, architraves and panelling

The finishing joinery — skirting, architraves, wall panelling and boxing-in.

Skirting is the last thing fitted and the first thing noticed. In a Maltese flat it goes on after the tiler and before the painter, scribed to a floor that is never quite level. MDF skirting is about €6 a metre to buy from a Maltese retailer; what nobody in Malta publishes is the fitting, so it is quoted on site by the metre after measuring.

Panelling is the same story. Slat and decorative panels are €28 to €41 a panel at Maltese builders' merchants, and installation is offered on request without a price. Bespoke MDF or veneered panelling is a joiner's job and is quoted against a drawing.

What this covers

What it costs

Material prices are published by Maltese retailers and given against each line; fitting has no published Maltese figure and is quoted on site. Small adjustments are on the hourly band.

A band, not a quote: the low end is a straightforward job with clear access, the high end is the same job with the complications a site visit finds. Materials are included where the line says so.

How it works

You deal with us, not with the workshop. We measure, we quote a fixed price, we bring in a joiner from the CheckYourTraders-verified network, and we stand behind the work. One point of contact, one contract, one invoice.

Questions people ask

Timber or MDF skirting?
MDF is flat, cheap and takes paint well; timber is right where it will be stained or where a boot will hit it. Moisture-resistant MDF in bathrooms and kitchens.
