Default Hollow skirting boards?

Hi

Anyone know where I can get hollow skirting boards. I need to run some
cable and seemed a good idea if I can put it in a some hollow skirting
boards. So far, none of the diy sheds websites say they do such a thing


There's a big assumption in many of the replies so far that you're
asking about mains cabling - and if this is the case then I think you'll
have realised by now that this is not permitted without adequate
protection.

IF, however, you're talking about e.g. low power data / CAT-5 cabling, a
seemingly more and more common issue as time goes by... then why not
manufacture your own?, buy the skirting board that you want, turn it
over and run a router, set to cut a sensible depth, down the rear face
to machine out the cable-way that you desire.

p.s. You'll still accidentally drive a nail through the cable, eventually.
