Rather than opt for double sided skirting board as sold by B&Q etc, we chose to order a deeper board and the timber merchant cut it to remove bottom shaped piece, giving us a much more solid base on board to fit to floor
80 linear metres arrived, all needed to be given coat of undercoat and satinwood top coat paint
So far, skirting board is fitted to the rear sitting room, main part of hallway, and one length in kitchen, until we decide where kitchen units will be fitted.
