In laying a solid wood floor in my hall I need to leave a 12mm expansion gap around the periphery and have removed skirting boards in preparation
But, not knowing how the newel post at the foot of the stairs is "built into place" I am concerned about making a 15mm undercut on two (adjacent) sides of the post from safety and strength points of view.
Can anyone offer advice please? Undercut or use scotia? (I wanted to avoid scotia which is why I have removed the skirting and what a task that was!)
Thanks in advance . . .
