4 of the lengths had a scrape mark down the middle. We had to sand them down as we didn’t have time to return them. We needed them fitting. Very disappointing.
Delivery man quite abrupt & rushing

Very pleased customer
After a long search and plenty of indecisiveness, I got in touch with Skirting World and immediately felt I’d chosen the right company. They sent out free samples in great time and offered clear advice on the difference between solid wood and MDF, which helped me decide to go with MDF. I was very happy with both the product and the communication from the start, so I went ahead and placed an order.
What truly stood out throughout the whole process was James. He was exceptionally professional, responsive and quick to sort out a couple of matters without any fuss. He even refunded my delivery fees after I had to push the delivery date back by more than six days, which I found incredibly kind and thoughtful.
When the skirting boards arrived they were exactly as expected, with one minor issue that James once again handled straightaway.
I want to highlight the excellent communication, the competitive pricing compared with other companies, the option to have the boards undercoated at a very reasonable price and the free delivery choice if you’re not in a hurry. The delivery itself was smooth and reliable.
Most importantly, James was amazing from start to finish. His professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond made the whole experience outstanding. I couldn’t recommend Skirting World highly enough.

Product good, but service has room for improvement
The system online to inform you of progress does not seem to work. I became concerned about delivery schedule, and online suggested the products were still being selected for manufacture. When I called (took a while to find the number ads didn't seem to be on website) I was surprised to find they were going to deliver the next day! The staff on the phone were helpful. The delivery driver was rather surly. He gave a 2 minute warning of his arrival. When he arrived the weather was awful, but all he said was "I'm not allowed into the house" and promptly dumped the products outside in the rain!
Product was decent, but the primer had not covered all areas of the skirting, as it seemed to have been sprayed at only one angle, so didn't make it into some of the profile.

We use both email and SMS to keep customers informed throughout the process - from manufacturing right through to delivery - so your comments are really useful in highlighting where the experience didn’t feel as clear as it should have.
We’re also sorry to hear the delivery itself felt rushed, especially given the weather conditions at the time. Your feedback has been passed along to the delivery team so we can review how communication is handled on the day.
It’s good to know the product met your expectations overall and we appreciate you mentioning the areas where the primer coverage could have been more consistent. Insights like this help us continue refining the finishing process across all profiles.
Thank you again for sharing your experience - feedback like yours plays an important role in helping us improve.
Disappointed
I ordered a skirting board and an architrave set. While the skirting board arrived in good condition and met expectations, the architrave pieces were a major disappointment. Every single one showed signs of damage—chips and rough edges that appeared to result from poor manufacturing, possibly due to a blunt blade. What’s worse, these defects were present before the boards had even been painted, suggesting they were knowingly shipped in that state.
I had to spend considerable time filling and sanding the damage just to make them usable. This points to either a complete lack of quality control or a disregard for customer satisfaction. It's frustrating to receive products that clearly should have been rejected during inspection.

Poor customer service
Placed an initial order on Sunday 2nd October and got a confirmed delivery date 2 days later for the Thursday which would have been great had I not been working away. Delivery estimate at the time of ordering was 6-9 working day so this was well within this and my fault I couldn’t be available. I contacted skirting world to reschedule and had a quick response advising a new delivery estimate would be confirmed shortly. After waiting another three days, I received a new delivery confirmation, which was 10 working days later than the new confirmation email, this would have been late for a new order, yet alone a rescheduled one. I’m working away again, so have had to request the delivery to be rescheduled again and advising I was unwilling to wait another 13+ working days, unfortunately, I contacted skirting world a week ago regarding this and have had no response. I’m assuming delivery will be attempted.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in such detail. It’s good to hear the initial delivery date was arranged quickly, though we understand how difficult it can be when work schedules make it hard to be available. Rescheduling can sometimes take a little longer during busy periods, as our delivery routes fill up quite fast, but your feedback is really helpful in showing where we can make the process clearer.
We’re sorry to hear you’ve been waiting for an update. That’s certainly not the level of communication we aim for and we appreciate you highlighting it. If you still need assistance with your revised delivery date, please do get in touch and the team will make sure it’s picked up as soon as possible.
Thank you again for your patience - your comments help us continue improving how we support our customers.
