Ok, I pulled off all the old skirting and had my walls re-skimmed. Very nice. Now I want to screw brand new skirting boards to the wall, on top of the laminate floor.
Now, the old skirting was fairly thin and fitted snug between the floor and the walls. However my new skirting is thicker and must be laid on top of the floor, as it won't squeeze into the gap between the floor and the wall.
No problem. However, my laminate floor has a dip in the middle of it so there is a gap under the skirting, in the middle of the floor and the middle of the skirting board. So the skirting is fine at each end but there is a gap in the middle (3 pictures attached).
Once the skirting is on, I will be fitting a new carpet on top of the laminate. My question is, does this gap matter if I'm putting a carpet down? Will the carpet 'cover' the height of the gap? Or will I still be left with a gap? What are my options?
