Hi All
Ok, so we just finished decorating top to bottom and all looks lovely, skirtings re-glossed etc. However, we have decided that instead of the carpet downstairs we should have gone with our initial feeling and tiled. This means the carpet coming up and me tackling the tiling job.
So, my first question is the skirting. It’s all lovely and painted and I don’t want to pull it off. Nor do I really want to have to cut every tile perfectly in order to have a perfect grout line up to the skirting board. Soooo, would you recommend trimming the skirting and architraves using a Multi tool so I can slide the tiles under the skirting and finish with a small bead of silicone? I’m guessing I measure the thickness of the tile plus the thickness of the adhesive plus 2-3mm that the silicone can cover.
Am I missing anything. I don’t have a multi tool yet. Any recommendations of a suitable model? I probably have about 50m of skirting to trim now so not sure if a cheapy will last that long or not?
Any help gratefully received.
Cheers
Mark
