2nd Fix Carpenter / Skirting Board Installer

Just Skirting – Servicing both North and South of the River

“She’ll be right?” Not here.

If “that’ll do”, “close enough”, or “no one will notice” sound familiar—this job isn’t for you.

At Just Skirting, we don’t rush through jobs, slap things on, or settle for near enough. We’re not building fences—we’re fitting skirting boards that need to be clean, sharp, and finished like furniture.

We’re looking for a professional tradesperson—someone who takes pride in crisp mitres, tight scribes, and quality work. Someone who shows up on time, works clean, communicates well, and doesn’t pack up until every detail’s spot on.

If that sounds like you, keep reading.

About us:

Just Skirting started back in 2019 with a DIY table, a 2000w router, and a big vision: to raise the standard of skirting board installation in Perth. We were tired of sloppy cuts, late tradies, and poor customer service—so we built something better.

Now working out of a 350m² workshop, we’ve grown into one of Perth’s go-to names for premium skirting board supply and install. We’re passionate about quality, reliable service, and building a team of professionals who take pride in their work and get the job done right.

Everything we do—from our in-house marketing to our carefully scheduled jobs—is designed to support our installers and give our clients a seamless experience from quote to completion.
