Can anyone advise me on the best way to fit plastic skirtings myself?
never used it myself, but probably the same way as regular skirting..
use coped cuts not mitres for internal corners and fix with "no nails" or similar solvent free adhesive ( or double sided tape according to one website.. )

Thanks for ur reply, please bear with me, this is the first time i've fitted them as well,coped cuts? Are they the same as corner pieces?
Unfortuneatly i've found out mitreing doesn't work

contrary to the very useful diagrams, i would cut at a little more than 90 degrees ( known as back cutting ).
this allows you to fine tune easily with sand paper ( rather that having to sand the full thickness of the board, trying to keep it square at the same time.. ).
It also allows for walls being out of square...

Thanx for that...at least one wall is certainly out of square
All advice much appreciated
