Hi,

Im replacing some bedroom skirting board and
wondered if I should raise it slightly
from the floor leaving say a 10mm gap so that
carpet can be tucked in (the original stuff was).
Is this normal practice or should I just position
the skirting so that its sits flush with the
floor?

Thanks,
Matthew


It's usual to have the skirting right to the floor. Fitted carpet edge
is normally tucked down between the skirting and the gripper rod
