Is this an acceptable way for a carpenter to leave skirting board when making and fitting a chest of drawers?
The carpenter has left a hole where the original carpet has a dip, as the old skirting from that area was removed.
Should the carpenter pack the gap and sand down the glue adhesive on skirting? As he says it’s not his job, a decorator would need to sand down the skirting and a carpet fitter would be required to fit a new carpet?
Looking for advice on what is industry practice ?
