Hello.
Any competent Joiner should complete this job in a day even if the doors require a lot of fitting. I hope this helps you out.

Depends on frames conditions and walls.
to fit new doors to the new frames and fit new skirting to the straight walls is quite straight forward process. And it usually makes difference and time consuming to fit new doors to existing frames as it typically needed adjustments and trimming.

I agree with loftex. The age of the house and condition of the frames can depend a lot on the time and skill level needed. If the floors are level and the walls in good condition this would make for an easy job for the skirtings providing the four rooms have no bays or external mitres which will add to the time. The window sills can be problematic depending on the original fitting method. If you are including cleaning up and disposing of waste material this job could take two to three days
