Instead of caulking, can you use expanding foam strips? The youtube channel that @hugo7 just posted a link to has a nice video showing it's usages iirc.

Will have a look, thanks!
@hugo7 - the 'how not to do it' is an exact replication of my method to date, so the video is very much appreciated!
Caulking/silicone-ing the junction between skirting and floor has been a bit of a disaster...
Both the floors and walls are not remotely straight, hence trying to fill the gaps. The skirting-wall junction isn't so bad, but even having used masking tape - the floor's undulations, voids behind where it meets the wall, and likely lack of good technique on my part - means it's come out really rough.
Most of the walls of this room (just the one room done so far) will be covered by furniture, so not the end of the world - but all ears if anyone can see something obvious I've missed or if there's a tricky to sort this kind of thing out (stanley knife to cut away the bits that stick out, and another quick , thin layer of caulk to try and make it more uniform?)
