How to Fix Large Gaps Along Skirting (Base) Boards

Aubrey shows two methods for fixing wide gaps along skirting boards. The first method involves establishing a suitable base and filling the gap with powder based filler. For skirting boards with some movement, Aubrey shows how to drill and screw the board firmly to the wall surface.

Expanding foam is great for back filling gaps like this behind skirting. More of an issue though on older houses as plasterers often didn't finish walls right down to the floor level.

Yeah tell me about it my house recently replastered by a professional cowboy, spent hours trying to get it reasonably level to install skirtings good video thanks

I’d be concerned as to why there is a gap, want to take the skirting off to check for damp, rot and such like.
