Skirting & Architrave Matching Service
We have a wide selection of cutters and can often match existing:
-
Skirting boards
-
Architraves
-
Traditional timber mouldings
For best results, bring a physical sample so we can assess and confirm a match. If it’s a common profile, we may already have the tooling available.
Can You Copy Existing Timber?
In many cases, yes. Bring your sample to our yard and we’ll check if we can replicate it using existing cutters or if new tooling is needed. We frequently help customers reproduce traditional and period mouldings.
Customer-Supplied Timber
We are unable to machine or cut timber supplied by customers.
All machining work must be carried out on materials purchased directly from Gards.
While-You-Wait Cutting
For quick, simple cuts (like one or two cross-cuts on sheet material or batten), we can usually complete this while you wait.
For larger or more detailed jobs, please contact us so we can schedule the work and notify you when it’s ready for collection.
Lead Times for Bespoke Work
Turnaround times depend on:
-
Project complexity
-
Quantity
-
Current workshop schedule
Many jobs are completed within a few days - sometimes even the same day. More involved projects may take one to two weeks.
If you’re in a hurry or need something ASAP, please let us know when requesting your quote.
We’ll always do our best to accommodate urgent jobs and provide a realistic estimated lead time when quoting.
Collection & Delivery
Once your bespoke order is ready, we’ll contact you to arrange collection from our yard. If you prefer delivery within Essex, we can arrange that too - just let us know when placing your order.
