Planning to lay laminate flooring in my downstairs hallway with my dad.

We have removed the skirtings to save having to undercut them prior to installing the flooring.

My dad is reluctant to undercut the side rails where they meet the concrete floor as he has said this could weaken the staircase structure and could end up costing me a lot of money to fix if it goes wrong.

Is he right or is he worrying about something that will never happen?
