I'm replacing the skirting boards in my house. It's a 1960's house, the existing skirting boards are nailed to lengths of wood which sit behind the skirting. These are then nailed to wooden wedges which are driven in between bricks.
I read somewhere that this method of fixing skirting may have something to do with damp proofing - any ideas?
The new skirting will be of a different height and I was going to remove the lengths of wood and fill with one-coat plaster which I can then plug and screw the new skirting to. Any better ways of doing this?
Many thanks.
