Never in my life have I seen one like this! If u have wosley timber centre's near u they make most if not all types of Mouldings how much I couldn't tell u! On the other hand u can get a small 20mm wide pine trim from Bnq and a normal og skirting and that would be pretty close ?

Sorry my mistake no there is no specification on the contract and there is hardly any weight bearing down on the fixings all light 6mm ply ,a have seen a thing called the hilti gx120 but again this looks like it's for light fixings . To be honest a think the answer is hammer fixings if a was...
