Default fixing skirting board to brick wall

Not if you do it the easy way. Pre-drill the holes in the board with
the same size as the masonry drill (say 5.5mm or 6mm). Offer board to
wall and drill the centre hole into brick, insert plug and screw in.
Move each way from centre. It helps of you have an electric
screwdriver, then you don't need to countersink, just power in.
