It might be a bit more of a fiddle than the tape method but it's a reasonable approach. Masking tape can add to the cost of any jobs like this though.
I picked some up from county chemicals recently, different type might be more or less useful. Certainly the site itself is a goldmine for information about sealants.

The parent company is called county chemicals, would be a good front for a county lines operation.

Ding ding ding. That looks absolutely ideal. The flat is insanely dafty, and not very well insulated. I’ll never eradicate all the drafts, so there will always be plenty air circulation I reckon.
And there’s loads of gaps, pretty much all the walls have skirting with a gap between the bottom and the floor. The drafts are evident enough that you can tell when someone leaves the inside building door open, or any other small change to airflow. Put your hand near any gap and you can feel the cold air rushing in!
Dropping knowledge as always! Will probably get some draughtex for the bits on the floor tho. Will be a lot cheaper doing the skirting with the gear you posted tho!
