Laminate flooring & skirting

[Mug-o-Latte]

Folks,

As a result of having a room skim plastered I removed all the skirting boards. I'm now planning to fit laminate flooring. Would it be better to do this first, and then fit the skirting so it covers the 'gap' around the edges, or should I do the skirting then fit the floor then put a bead around?

MOL.

floor first then use your skirting to cover the expansion gap

I agree with Chappers, its even easier to lay floor first, apart from the fact it will look the bizz

the concensus for the best finnish is to REMOVE the skirting lay the floor then put in the skirting so you have a head start
