We bought our house 6 months ago and it has laminate flooring in one
room. It seems ok except.... it does not reach to the edge of the room
and stops short of the skirting boards. I can cover most of this with
a bit of beading. However down one edge it it as much an an inch or
more from the skirting and looks dreadful. Is there anything I can
fill the big gap with (I have heard car bodyfiller mentioned)? I can
then paint it approx the same colour as the laminate, add some edging
and maybe it will not look that bad...

I would have thought you could get a little more laminate to fill the
gap - even if it is not an exact match it has to look better than
filler. Also laminate floors move as they expand and contract (which is
why you leave a gap of about quarter to half an inch around it) so I
would have thought that filler would not work!
