All,
I am about to instal laminate across my entire flat and would like to
remove
the skirting in order to do a decent job of hiding the expansion gap.
Can anyone lend advise on how I should remove the skirting - it may be
either nailed or glued on - I'm not sure. However, the flat is only 3
years
old and there are no visible nails, so I am incluned to think that it may
be
glued.
Whats the best way to fix the skirting back ?? I like the idea of glue
(prob
from screwfix, but what type ???), but are they likely to 'fall' off after
a
few years ?? Are nails generally better ??

All help / advise very much appreciated.



How old is skirting board ? If it's a new build, then it may be MDF
Skirting and it could be both glued and nailed. I'd advise you to take off
the door facings to let you get in behind the skirting to prise it off.
This will let you get a good start at least.
