Wires behind a skirtingboard

lukeki · 7 Jul 2006

HI,

This has probably been answered before but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have any tips about running some wires behind a skirting board. I've got a new build flat and I've put my LCD TV on the wall, I've hidden the wires behind a metal casing from the TV to the skirting board and now I would like to take the skirting off and run the wires along behind for about 2 metres to where I have the DVD, powerpoint and aerial socket.

I guess the key things I'm concerned about are;

1. How is the skirting fixed to the wall and will I be able to prise it off without destroying the skirting or the wall?
2. Will I be able to punch a hole in the plaster and then refit the skirting over the top?

Any tips or warnings gratefully received

Thanks, Luke

I've used this stuff.
Fix this to the skirting, it will save you destroying the plaster walls.
