Hello. My skirting boards are 90mm high and will be going on a wall of brick>plasterboard adhesive>plasterboard>skim
The plasterboard was installed such that it butted up close to the ceiling, and so in this case left a gap of up to 60mm at the bottom, between it and the floor.
The result is that only about the top 30mm of the skirting boards will be in contact with the walls, and the lower part would not:
Is the correct approach here to drill right across the gap, into the brickwork, plug it and screw the board in?
Like so:
Along with some adhesive between the part of the board that does contact the skim surface, perhaps?
Thanks,
