Encountering obstacles such as pipes or electrical outlets during skirting installation is common, but easily manageable. Follow these steps to address them effectively:

Measure and Mark: Identify the location of the obstacle on the skirting board and carefully mark the area where the opening needs to be made.

Cut Openings: Use a hole saw or jigsaw to cut precise openings in the skirting to accommodate pipes, electrical outlets, or other obstacles. Take care to make clean and accurate cuts according to the marked measurements.

Ensure Alignment and Seal: Once the openings are cut, ensure they are properly aligned with the obstacles and fit snugly around them. Additionally, seal any gaps around the openings to maintain the integrity of the skirting and ensure a neat and professional finish.

By following these steps, you can effectively navigate obstacles like pipes or electrical outlets during skirting installation, ensuring a seamless and visually appealing result in your space.
