I am probably going to replacing the existing carpet in my Hallway
with Floor tiles. This will be extended to the 3 rooms that lead off
the hallway - Kitchen, Utility Room and Loo.

The Hallway and kitchen however have 6" stained wooden skirting board
and I am a little reluctant to tile direct to the skirting. (Purely
because once wet, the grout can crack away from the wood making it
unsightly.) I know I could add a boarder over the top of any join, but
think that would make it look a little tacky.

What do you think would be the best way to achieve a good result?

The options appear to be (1) remove the skirting and tile to the wall
or (2) if possible, get something that will route the bottom 3/4" from
the skirting, enabling me to tile to the wall without removing.


Option 1, and perhaps budget for buying some repalcement skirting board.

(I presume that you are referring to ceramic tiles.)
