Hi Lads, Update - fitter came back today to look at his work. He was all prepared to take off the skirting and "tap" the boards and gaps closed !!! Obviously this was not an acceptable solution - not sure how you can tap something to close gaps once it has been glued ? So we...

Thanks Lads - I appreciate the help and advice - I will let you know how I get on tomorrow. It's all a headache now !!! :?
