Indeed not, However, in my old house I got away with just a few wood blocks

That's how the skirting on my 1905 house was originally fitted and how
the replacement skirting is fitted. However it appears that the original
skirting may have been fitted first with the wood blocks acting as
spacers and then the wall was plastered later.

The only advice would offer if using this method is make sure that the
wooden spacers are FIRMLY connected to the wall and the front surface is
true and not sloping in any direction. I used small packing pieces at
the back of the blocks whilst screwing them in to true up the front.
