Step 1: Screw Board to Wall
• It is sometimes possible to pull the skirting board closer to the wall by drilling in some screws.
• The heads of the screws can then filled in over, sanded and painted to leave an invisible finish.
Step 2: Fill Remaining Gap
• If there is still a gap then the solution is to fill it with flexible filler, which is not as brittle as a standard filler.
• Use a caulking gun to apply the filler in a narrow bead above and behind the gap.
Step 3: Smooth Out Filler
• With a spoon, lollypop stick or similar, smooth the bead flush with the top of the skirting board.
