Older skirting boards seem to be higher than the newer ones. I tried to find some ogee to go in the kitchen utility and couldn't so am having to reuse that which has been hidden behind the units.

I have high old skirting boards, they had about 50 layers of paint on them. I removed the lot & fired them through the
planner & re-router'd the top with a nice cut. They came out lurvly :cool: :cool:
 
Ours is 90 mm high, all over the house. Would have been 3.5" in old money.
All the ones I found had a different profile ogee as well.
I am having to put it up next to the original stuff.
Standard height is apparently 145mm nowadays according to "theskirtingboardshop".
Just easier and quicker to pinch stuff from where it would have been hidden and cut it and reuse it. For once more about time and effort than cost. ;)
150mm par
 
Original was 4" and new is 3"
Problem around doorways is that the first plastering job was crap so they skimmed it again resulting in plaster being to thick for the architraves to fit properly around the doors.
I'm going to get some 5mm strips to tack on before the new stuff goes on then it'll fit nice
That's the only option you have could make a feature off it by stepping it 👍
