How To Install Skirting Boards A DIY Guide 

In this video I show you how to install skirting boards/ baseboards DIY GUIDE,
The first thing I do is set up my chop saw in preparation for all the cuts , I level it out both ways,
I started on a long wall and needed to do a scarf joint this gives it a better final finish,
Once I set out the skirting/baseboard I could take precise measurements for the rest of the skirting installation working from a fixed wall.
The easiest skirting/baseboard to fit and fix are pine wood, the hardest are probably MDF, but MDF is great in that it doesn't bow twist or split and can come primed already.
I used square edged skirting MDF pre primed already.
I used this square edged mdf skirting/ baseboard for that current fresh and new contemporary look.
There's some key factors you need to consider when you're installing skirting/baseboard.
Use:
A grab adhesive
Fix with nail gun
If you don't have nail gun: then fix with drill plug and screw fix method.
Glue the external mitre plus scarf joint.
Scribe internal skirting if need to to close the gap this is called an internal scribe, like you see me do in the vid .
All the skirting boards/baseboards I fitted will be chalked up ,nail holes filled rubbed down with sandpaper then painted.
