Stud Walls & Skirting — Installation & Repairs

Whether you're opening up a kitchen, adding a new bedroom or building out a granny flat, every reno starts with the framing. We construct internal load-bearing and non-load-bearing stud walls using H2 treated pine, with proper noggins, top and bottom plates, and engineer-spec lintels over openings.

We install and repair all profiles — Colonial, Lambs Tongue, Splayed, Bullnose, square-set and custom timber. Mitred corners, scribed joins and gun-fixed for a clean finish ready for paint.

• New skirting & architrave installation
• Replacement of termite or water-damaged trim
• Door jamb installation & repairs
• Window architrave reveals
• Cornice repairs (timber)

Damaged frame from termites, water or impact? We expose the affected studs, sister or fully replace as needed, and re-sheet ready for plasterer or painter. Coordinated with your trades to keep the project moving.

Good framing is invisible — straight studs, plumb plates, square corners, and noggins exactly where the plasterer needs them. We frame to AS 1684 (Residential Timber Framed Construction), pre-drill every fixing point and check every wall with a 1.8m level before sheeting.

Choosing the right skirting profile sets the tone of a room. Common Queensland profiles include Colonial (heritage Queenslanders), Lambs Tongue (1950s–80s post-war), Splayed (modern minimalist) and Bullnose (Federation). MDF is cost-effective for painted finishes; Pine for staining; Hardwood for high-traffic areas and matched-timber heritage work.

Knock marks, water swelling, termite damage and pet damage are the four main reasons skirting fails. Replacement is usually quicker and cleaner than patching — we cut neat scarf joins, match the existing profile and gun-fix ready for filling and paint.
