How do I mitre a 7" skirting board when the deepest box available is only
around 6 " and B&Q's deep cut mitre saw only does the same ? For a couple
of
cuts it hardly seems worthwhile hiring a specialist saw.

Hacksaw + care? Coping saw?
You only need to get the top edge decent, you can overcut the rest.
Also, if it isn't absolutely perfect, YOU will be the only one who
knows/cares
