cheers for the advice :)

shaggy, just outta interest the first product you posted a pic of (hand saw thing) will it cut 7" high skirting? cheerz

yes mate.i asked for £10 as that is how much the ruined skirting was worth. funny thing at first they said no chance on them paying for skirting. once i started making up a bit of noise about it they soon changed their mind :lol:

hi i am planning on getting the 10 internal doors + door frames changed for new ones in my house. the doors will be pine ones. 8 of the doors are around the 0.76m x 1.98m size so i think a standard 1981 x 762 door will be fine for these 8. i have 2 oddball size doors though. one is...
