skirting board

Hello, 1st time poster, so I'll try and give as complete information as I can, all help appreciated. I've just moved into a house and at one part of the living room, the mdf was so bevelled away from that wall that there was no way it could be filled in the normal way. Looking closely at it...

Hi there, Hope this is the right forum. I got a builder in to install an engineered wooden floor, which involved exposing the joists and also removing the old skirting. While he was at it he put down 200mm of Rockwool sound block, to block out airbourne sound from the downstairs neighbours...
