What is the best way to attach skirting board to the wall?
I need to put new skirting board on in my daughters bedroom but i have always had trouble with this in the past in other rooms. the main reasons for this are:* the inner wall is not made of bricks or breeze blocks, but these ceramic tile bricks which are tough.* a lot of the plaster has fallen away behind the old skirting boardin the past i have tried several things and while they all worked (in the end) can help thinking there has to be a better way. the things i have tried are:* screwing it on, but the plaster is so crumbly in places this is impossible with out long screws* patching the plaster, and gluing it on, but this is time consuming* nailing it on, but the ceramic tiles are hard to nail intoany ideas?compare the best lots, credit cards, bank accounts and mortgages at http://www.bluejumperfinance.com
Answer
Theres no point gluing to knackered plaster, to want to hire a sds drill and a few 7mm drill bits, 3 inch screws and brown wall plugs
