It's taken three weeks, but JobAndKnock's suggestion has worked. The first week I left a length of skirting board at a 45 degree angle against the wall, and went on holiday for a week. Gravity and rain did the work for me, although there was still work to do. I used some nylon straps that I...

Thanks for the reply. I'll give this a go and report back. With the amount of rain that's been forecast in the South of England, I can probably just leave a length of skirting out in the garden for the next few days!
