I need to fit the entire ground floor level with Finished (i.e. gloss
painted) skirting I got from Wickes.

Usual problem though is that the walls are uneven so skirting has
varying gaps to the wall, up to about 8mm max. I normally pump in
Caulk or White sealant.

Am I missing something or is there a better or more efficient way.

I've not got round to fixing any yet but plan to use 'instant' grab
adhesive but doubt it will hold the skirting tight in the concave
sections. If I drill and tighten the skirting then I destroy the
advantage of using finished skirting as I'll have to caulk and paint
over the screw holes.

Suggestions very welcome!

Any method of tightening the skirting will make it look awful, leave the
skirting straight, caulk the gaps & paint.


PS I'm using finished skirting because its over new laminate (and
newly plastered walls) so dread the thought of painting the skirting
and getting paint on my new lam.
