Central Skirting

Central Skirting, British manufacturer of MDF skirting boards and mouldings

Central Skirting is a UK company dedicated to manufacturing skirting boards, architraves, wall panelling and other MDF mouldings, supplying both the trade and the general public. The company is part of Cutting Edge Trading Limited and produces in its own UK workshop, which allows it to control quality and customise profiles to suit customer requirements.

Skirting board and architrave catalogue

The skirting board catalogue includes models such as Bullnose, Symphony, Church, Beswick, Shakespeare, Imperial, Harrington and Cathedral, among others. Prices published at the time of analysis ranged from £7.67 to £34.09, excluding VAT, depending on the model and length. Boards are supplied in lengths of up to 4.2 metres and in a choice of finishes to suit every budget.

The architrave range is manufactured from moisture-resistant MDF (MR MDF) and is presented as a complement to finish doors and achieve a cohesive transition with the skirting. Wall panelling and wall mouldings are also offered, with a variety of finishes and prices for different projects.

Materials and manufacturing process

The company uses exclusively moisture-resistant MDF (MR MDF), a higher-density material sometimes referred to as HDF, which provides a smooth, durable surface. Products are supplied unprimed, primed or undercoated, depending on the order. Manufacturing takes place in the UK using advanced machinery and a specialised team, allowing strict quality control to be maintained.

Central Skirting has an in-house tooling department capable of matching or creating any moulding profile. Customers who need to reproduce an existing skirting board or architrave can request this from the sales team.

Trade and public sales

The company supplies both the trade and the general public. The minimum order is £40; lower orders incur a handling charge of £25 plus VAT. Orders are made to measure in the UK workshop, so the delivery time includes production and shipping: 2 to 3 working days for London and the South East of England, and 2 to 5 working days for the rest of the delivery area, with orders closing at 8:00. Customers can check the specific lead time by entering their postcode on each product page.

Delivery is available throughout the UK. The company states that it has years of experience in transporting bulky goods and has adapted its packaging so that products arrive in good condition and ready for installation. Orders can be added to as long as they have not been dispatched; once dispatched, additional items are processed as a separate order. It is also possible to request a specific delivery date by contacting the office.

Installation and finishes

For fitting skirting boards, the company recommends using mounting adhesive and, if necessary, fixing with nails. The product range also includes wall mouldings, wall panelling, panelling kits, dado and picture rails, cover strips, plinth blocks, architrave blocks, door lining sets and samples.

Customer reviews

The website includes customer testimonials highlighting fast delivery, product quality and the service received. Some mention the resolution of issues, such as a problem with the priming machine that was communicated in advance, or the ability to match old skirting boards. The reviews emphasise the effectiveness of the service for both trade and public customers.
