    Short of biscuiting the joints this is all you need. Nothing over the top, a good professional finish and achievable for the DIY enthusiast 👌🏻

    Sick video!
    Question though, at 1:02 you show us what happens if there's layers of paint build up and the walls aren't straight anymore. When you placed the skirting along the wall, there's little wave gaps between the skirting and the wall. Can that be filled in or is it not worth it?

    What do you do on internal corners if the skirting you’re using is just a plain piece rather than the patterned?

    What glue did you use on the back of the skirting? And would you use the same for 170mm solid oak? Thanks

    Not sure if you guys do this, but for external miters, I set my saw 1* each cut so allows for a slight kick at the bottom we get sometimes, which saves having to chop access plaster off.

    Do you need nails on skirting if you’re using glue?

    Hi thanks gor the video.
    Got a question. The external angle was 85 degrees. On other vidoes ive watched the divide that number by 2 and that your mitre. But on yours you mitre come out at 47.
    85÷2=42.5.
    Is this the right calculation ? Or am i doing it wrong
    Also would love a tutorial on installing skirting in awkward areas such as a bay window.
    Thanks again

      47 is correct as you need to increase the bevel, not decrease it!!!!

    • @ianfreeman7817
      @ianfreeman7817 Před měsícem

      The angle is 47 as you need to increase the bevel in this case. It's an external corner remember.

    I removed some tiling from around my chimney breast so now there is a gap between the skirting on the wall and the chimney. I’ve bought some skirting to go on the chimney but what how do I fix the gap with the skirting along the wall?

    When replacing old for new skirting,how much of a gap between the bottom of the skirting and a hard floor should I leave ???
    I'm planning on laying carpet.
    Thankyou.

    My joiner put a 2nd hand piece of skirting back on and the MDF is fraying. He said decorator can paint and sand and paint it. Decorator says no he won’t and board should be replaced…can’t get joiner back. Is there anything I can do to fix this apart from getting a new joiner who’ll want payment (not happy to do that as feel 1st joiner should rectify his mistake)? Would appreciate your advice please.

    • @homeimprovements

      Don’t know the whole story but I’d would remove damage and fill with a 2 pack filler decorator should be able to do that for sure

    Why not use an angle finder to cut the internal corner at the correct angle instead of scribing?

    • @homeimprovements
      @homeimprovements  Před 8 měsíci +2

      Because that’s not the correct way to install skirting 😊
