I removed some tiling from around my chimney breast so now there is a gap between the skirting on the wall and the chimney. I’ve bought some skirting to go on the chimney but what how do I fix the gap with the skirting along the wall?
Sick video! Question though, at 1:02 you show us what happens if there's layers of paint build up and the walls aren't straight anymore. When you placed the skirting along the wall, there's little wave gaps between the skirting and the wall. Can that be filled in or is it not worth it?
Not sure if you guys do this, but for external miters, I set my saw 1* each cut so allows for a slight kick at the bottom we get sometimes, which saves having to chop access plaster off.
When replacing old for new skirting,how much of a gap between the bottom of the skirting and a hard floor should I leave ??? I'm planning on laying carpet. Thankyou.
My joiner put a 2nd hand piece of skirting back on and the MDF is fraying. He said decorator can paint and sand and paint it. Decorator says no he won’t and board should be replaced…can’t get joiner back. Is there anything I can do to fix this apart from getting a new joiner who’ll want payment (not happy to do that as feel 1st joiner should rectify his mistake)? Would appreciate your advice please.
Nice video - very clear. Do you ever recommend using fully finished skirting instead of primed? Wondering if it's worth it, cos I'll still have to paint over any nail holes / edges anyway, right?
Hi thanks gor the video. Got a question. The external angle was 85 degrees. On other vidoes ive watched the divide that number by 2 and that your mitre. But on yours you mitre come out at 47. 85÷2=42.5. Is this the right calculation ? Or am i doing it wrong Also would love a tutorial on installing skirting in awkward areas such as a bay window. Thanks again
Think of it this way: your board is 180* before cutting. If you were to wrap it around that 85* corner you would need to bend it for 180* - 85* = 95*. Since you are using two boards, each must be cut at 95* / 2 = 47.5*. So the correct formula for mitre each board for external angles is (180* - corner angle) / 2.
Top channel lads.., I’m learning loads..!! Do you have the link to where I can purchase the angle finder you used? I would love that as part of my tool kit Happy New Year to you guys too! 👍🏾
Short of biscuiting the joints this is all you need. Nothing over the top, a good professional finish and achievable for the DIY enthusiast 👌🏻
Great video, thank you! I might give it a go !!
Great video lads!!! Fantastic finish
Appreciate the support 🙌🙌👨🔧
Our builders could have learnt a lot from you guys
What do you do on internal corners if the skirting you’re using is just a plain piece rather than the patterned?
South side skills 🤩
You make my life much easier on jobs 👌
brilliant video. thank you
Thanks for the tips 👌
Any time! 😊😊
I removed some tiling from around my chimney breast so now there is a gap between the skirting on the wall and the chimney. I’ve bought some skirting to go on the chimney but what how do I fix the gap with the skirting along the wall?
Wood filler 😊

Just stick some Polyfilla in there and smooth out. 2 minute job

Nice mate 😊👌🏼👌🏼
Can you explain what you mean here for a novice?
I always click your videos over any other channel

Thankyou.
In the uk we don’t leave any gap carpet is installed in front of the skirtings 😊😊

Cheers....thanks for the reply 👍
@@homeimprovementssurely some gap is left underneath or youd never be able to lift floorboards

Don’t know the whole story but I’d would remove damage and fill with a 2 pack filler decorator should be able to do that for sure

Personally no you’ll never match the finish so seems pointless to me anyhow 😊
Great video lads, how much pins roughly would you nail into a length? Cheers
Depends tbh less the better just to keep it in place while adhesive sets
What glue did you use on the back of the skirting? And would you use the same for 170mm solid oak? Thanks
Great video thank you, where can I get that angle finder?
Thanks trig jig 😁
Hi thanks gor the video.
Got a question. The external angle was 85 degrees. On other vidoes ive watched the divide that number by 2 and that your mitre. But on yours you mitre come out at 47.
85÷2=42.5.
Is this the right calculation ? Or am i doing it wrong

Thanks again
Your correct and will try get something made 😊😊
@@homeimprovements legends thank you
47 is correct as you need to increase the bevel, not decrease it!!!!
The angle is 47 as you need to increase the bevel in this case. It's an external corner remember.
Think of it this way: your board is 180* before cutting. If you were to wrap it around that 85* corner you would need to bend it for 180* - 85* = 95*. Since you are using two boards, each must be cut at 95* / 2 = 47.5*. So the correct formula for mitre each board for external angles is (180* - corner angle) / 2.
Top video gents, quick one, will the nailer be alright when it comes to plaster and block ?
This is plaster and brick not ideal but it works 😊😉
Diamond👍🏻
What’s the name of the little angle finder plz
i need you guys to come do my house! im botching my job despite watching this video 🤣🤣🤣
Same 😩
When you use the angle finder & it said 85 deg, the mitre said 47. Do you cut both pieces at 47???
That’s it 😊
All that mdf dust in a closed room with no ppe, was there much point in bringing the Henry along. Nice work though, very informative.
What is the spray you use?
Activator for the glue 😊
How tall is the skirting board? 10cm or 15cm?
119mm I believe 😊
Where did you purchase that mitre gauge if you don't mind
Trig jig is the company mate 😊😊
Cheers bud 😊
Ya have no problems using a brad Nailer into plaster and block?
Get away with it in older property’s as the plaster is so thick 😊
What size Brad nails do you use? Ones that only go into the plaster?
Nah, didn't get away with it. Had to use red plug n screw.
Why not use an angle finder to cut the internal corner at the correct angle instead of scribing?
Because that’s not the correct way to install skirting 😊
East 17 do house makeovers 😂
🤣
Top channel lads.., I’m learning loads..!! Do you have the link to where I can purchase the angle finder you used? I would love that as part of my tool kit
Happy New Year to you guys too! 👍🏾
Thanks mate appreciate it and it’s a company called trig jig pricey but worth the money 😁👍🏼
Do you need nails on skirting if you’re using glue?
Why do you have to be down south would have loved to have you do some work for me.
Thank you for your positive feedback 😊
Easy when you have the expensive saw, I have an old style mitre saw, bloody nightmare
Please help me

That’s nice 🙌
Why does Phil do all the hard work? Let Brad break sweat too
🤣👌🏼
Entertaining but skips over some of the important parts of the task. But the lads work well as a team on camera.
😊👊🏼
