whats the best way of doing this?? masking tape along the edge? any
tips appreciated. i didnt give the skirting enough coats before the
carpet fitter was due and want to finish it off properly without
getting paint on the carpet.

I bought some strips of slightly curved plastic, shaped rather like one
slat from Venetian blinds. The idea is the slat slips under the skirting,
and protects the carpet. Works well.

I bought some stuff on a roll. It had a crease so that it readily folded and
shoved down the gap.
