Who sells 6" high skirting board with rounded top edge?

[Mike D]

Who sells 6" high skirting board with a rounded top edge? It used to be everywhere. Now I can't find it anywhere locally.

Thanks,

6x1 and a router.

I thought everyone sold the reversible type, chamfered on on one side and ovolo on the other

[Mike D]

I thought so too. It used to be the case...

Thanks for the suggestion. It may be my only option.

146mm width 14.5mm thick x 5,200mm long 5 pieces per 5.2m pack

Thanks, yes, the above pack would do the job. Shame I can't order it from their web site. Perhaps I've been looking in the wrong branch of B&Q. I notice they don't all stock the same stuff. There was a period when my local branch suddenly stopped stocking timber altogether for a while.

I had t d the same in our house, over the years I'd used\broke all the odd bits of skirting board that matched everywhere else. It is some unusually small version of standard bullnose type stuff. Wickes happened to have some standard timber of the right size and I happened to have a router and table and the required roundover bit.

[John Rumm]

You usually find ogee on one edge and bullnose on the other. Not sure I have seen any with just a simple roundover on though.

[Andy Burns]

Sounds like a dust-trap anyway (If I understand what you mean by roundover)

[Frank Erskine]

But if it's meant to match up with existing...

[Stuart Noble]

Then use plain 6 x 1 and put a small moulding on top. Doesn't usually notice unless the join is in the middle of a straight run.
