I have a room with unsightly central heating pipes attached to the plain skirting board. Rather than go through the pain of detaching and re-routing them, and, inevitably, patching up the damaged skirting, or building a box round them with a new skirting board as the vertical surface, I'd thought to use hollow skirting board, and contain both pipes and the old skirting in it. I'd need about 1.75 cm clearance, I guess, and I don't care if it's wood or plastic.
Does anyone know where I can get skirting like this? I had some plastic skirting in a house in Sweden once that you could open to thread cables etc through, but a scan of the web has failed to reveal any UK stockists.
TIA
