skirting board

Hi, I just ripped off the old skirting in my kitchen ready for flooring. I was surprised that there was such a gap behind to the brickwork. Is there a reason for this gap? I also see some holes in the bricks. I'm just wondering if I should render and plaster before putting new skirting on so...

I've installed this new floor and used acoustic underlay (mutemat-3) and plywood below the wooden floor. The floorboards weren't changed and are quite old and crooked (in retrospect I should have changed them but wasn't guided to do so). Also, perimeter strip (a foamy strip) has been installed...

Hello, 1st time poster, so I'll try and give as complete information as I can, all help appreciated. I've just moved into a house and at one part of the living room, the mdf was so bevelled away from that wall that there was no way it could be filled in the normal way. Looking closely at it...

Hi, I am replacing skirting boards in my bedroom and have come across a bit of a challenge. When i've removed the old boards, i have exposed a hole behind one which appears to be the ceiling void of the bay window on the ground floor (bay on ground floor, flat wall on first). My question is...

Hi there, Hope this is the right forum. I got a builder in to install an engineered wooden floor, which involved exposing the joists and also removing the old skirting. While he was at it he put down 200mm of Rockwool sound block, to block out airbourne sound from the downstairs neighbours...
