West Yorkshire is a county of millstone-grit terraces, back-to-backs and substantial Victorian villas. That is exactly the kind of building stock a set of mouldings has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Walls in West Yorkshire are rarely square and floors are rarely level. A set of mouldings that is built in a workshop to a nominal size will show every millimetre of that. We survey first, scribe on site, and finish so the joint line disappears.
How we build it
Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

Straight answers
Skirting, Architrave & Mouldings in West Yorkshire — common questions
What is the right architrave to skirting relationship?
Architrave is normally a little narrower than the skirting is tall, and the skirting dies into a plinth block at the base of the architrave in a traditional setting. It solves the awkward junction where a deep skirting meets a shallower architrave.
Can you match a Victorian skirting profile?
Yes. We take a profile gauge from a clean section, have a cutter ground if it is not in our stock range, and run it in whatever length you need. Ogee, torus and lambs tongue are all held as standard.
MDF or timber?
Primed MR MDF for painted skirting and architrave — it is straighter, cheaper and takes paint better. Solid timber only where it will be stained or where the profile is deep enough to need the strength.
How do you deal with uneven walls?
Scribe the back of the board to the wall rather than filling the front. Filler along a top edge cracks within a heating season; a scribed board does not.
How long does a bespoke job take from order to fitting?
Most fitted furniture runs four to eight weeks from approved drawings to fitting day. Kitchens, staircases and timber windows are longer at eight to fourteen weeks because the components are larger and the finishing schedule is longer. We give you a date band at quotation and confirm the fitting week once the drawings are signed off.
