Been looking at PVCu 'skirting' to hide pipes & found this site;http://encasementstore.co.uk/index.php?cPath=49

Why not use regular skirting fixed to two battens. One batten fastened
to the wall flush with the top of the skirting and the other at some
distance below to create a void for the piping. You could even put a
chamfer or moulded edge on the top batten.
