Fumed New England European Oak Skirting Board
Custom Height / Length Request
Fumed New England European Oak Skirting Board
A solid dark oak skirting board with New England profile, 19mm thick in the height of your choice. Fuming is a process which darkens the raw timber, creating a random mix of dark oak shades (see important note below). Our skirting boards can be supplied unoiled or finished with hardwax oil, which provides a hardwearing finish with a natural satin lustre.
A New England skirting board machined from solid prime grade European Oak. The timber has a rich smoked tone and displays natural figuring and grain pattern with some small knots.
Important note: Fuming is a chemical process which darkens the timber in a natural way. Different boards and different batches of wood will react differently to the fuming process, and as such the timber will not have a uniform colour. Photographs on the website and samples are for guidance only - we can not guarantee an exact colour match. If you wish to obtain a uniform dark tone we recommend the use of a stain rather than fuming.
Our timber boards are kiln-dried to an average moisture content of 8-10% and stored here in our temperature-controlled factory. Our skirting boards and architrave sets are machined by our skilled craftsmen using British and German machinery, ensuring your boards are precision perfect and easy to fit.
If you require a height not listed above please contact our Sales Office who will be happy to discuss your requirements. We can machine matching architrave, door linings and floors.

When will my order be ready?
Our skirting boards and architraves are machined to order. A guide to our current manufacturing lead time is displayed underneath the main product title and price.
What lengths will I receive?
Orders of 1 or 2 metres will be supplied in a single length. Orders of more than 2 metres will be supplied in random lengths. These random lengths will typically be between 2.4 metres to 3 metres. However, there may be some shorter or longer lengths supplied depending on stock availability at the time of machining. We recommend adding extra onto your total combined length requirements to allow for wastage due to cuts.
Can I order set lengths?
As the raw timber we machine from is in random lengths, it is not possible for us to produce large orders in set lengths. If, as part of your order, you have a specific length or two that you would like to achieve without joints, we will try to accommodate this where stock lengths allow. Please Contact Us and we would be happy to advise.
Can you manufacture to sizes other than those listed?
We can machine to heights in-between those listed. To order online, select the nearest larger height and indicate your custom height at the end of the order process.
If you require a different thickness, please Contact Us as the practicality of this may vary, depending on the profile chosen.
Is your timber FSC certified?
All the raw timber we use is sustainably sourced from sawmills that are either FSC or PEFC certified.
How much is delivery?
The delivery charge depends on the total weight of the goods ordered and the delivery location. To calculate the delivery charge:
- Put all the goods you require into your shopping cart.
- Go to the shopping cart.
- Type your full delivery postcode in the 'Calculate Shipping' box and our website will calculate the accurate shipping charge for you.
Do you offer free delivery over a certain amount?
We feel that it is fairer and more honest to display delivery costs separately, rather than 'hide' them within the cost of our timber products. Transporting long lengths of timber around the UK is costly. The shipping price shown in the cart is the direct charge from the independent couriers we use.
Can I collect from your premises or arrange my own transport?
Yes – choose the “Customer Collect” option when placing your order. As soon your order is ready, we will contact you to let you know.
We use numerous ways to deliver our hardwood products all around the UK mainland. This includes delivery by our own vehicle (within a limited delivery scope), and also the use of independent couriers. The courier price is the direct charge from the couriers we use and is a weight-driven tariff based on the delivery location.

Courier delivery timescales
The time taken for delivery by courier can vary depending on location. When your order is complete, we will email you to inform you of despatch. The courier will then contact you when they have collected your order from us, to inform you of the expected delivery day.
Storage information
Our skirting boards and architraves are manufactured from solid kiln-dried timbers and should not be stored in a cold, damp environment (e.g. garage, shed or outbuilding). On arrival at your property, the packs should be taken straight indoors into a dry, heated building. All concrete, plaster and wet work should be fully dried out prior to storage and/or installation.
