Hi
We are purchasing a new build in a new estate. As part of the finish of the house, the developers have laid the skirting boards (glued and nailed) - however this has happened before we have laid the floors.
The options we have is for us to:
1) lay the floors and putting beading down to conceal the gap between the floorboards and the skirting or
2) remove the existing skirting to lay the floors then refit the skirting - appreciating that this might cause some damage to the walls and the skirting.
I'm not too fond of the appearance of option 1. It's not ugly by any means but personally I'd prefer clean lines.
Does anyone have any recommendations or encountered the same issue when buying a new build in a new estate.
Thanks!
