Is there a upvc (or any other) type of skirting board that can just be
stuck onto existing skirting boards please?

Well no one else has asked ---- why? What's wrong with the existing
and why can't it just be removed ?

I think most people would recoil at the thought of covering up an
existing skirting board with ... of all things ... UPVC.

Shudder!

I don't get why everybody is being so mean about this one.. sure uPVC
isn't the nicest material but thousands of offices have uPVC trunking as
skirting and dado rails without problems, it would only take nicer edges
to make it acceptable in a house.


Kathy, try this sort of thing:

You will find it's not at all cheap though - taking the old skirting off
and replacing it with prepainted MDF or timber skirting isn't a huge job
for a local handyman if you can find one.

....or DIY, obviously...

Nylon shirts, polyester ties, crimplene trousers, plastic belts,
inflatable plastic furniture, melamine crockery ...

.... and UPVC skirtings. ;-)

Few (if any) special skirting trunking options remain available. Can't
remember the details but the dado version is often the only one now
available.

I don't know if this will help, but in our last house the ground floor
hallway had quarry tiles as skirtings. Horrible, they looked. I
covered them with zinc flashing, which I glued and screwed, and very
nice they looked too (or so the various people who looked around the
house thought when we sold it). All you need are some tinsnips,
Gripfil, zinc-plated screws and washers, and a way of scoring the zinc
before you fold it.
