Laying a laminate/hardwood floor as part of a complete overhaul of a room...
Plasterers are coming early Jan, so won't have a flooring supplier queued up until... sometime after that.
I'd like the boards to go under the skirting, but obviously(?) we'll need to remove the skirting boards in order to do that. Given that the plasterer is also planning to fit the skirting at the same time, the skirting is going to have to come off in order to fit the boards.
Is the right answer simply to have the skirting prepared and painted, fit the floor and then have the boards fitted on last, just before painting the walls?
Or is the right answer to plaster, paint the room, fit the flooring and then put the skirting on? I'm presuming it's fairly standard practice for a flooring fitter to fit skirting?
Sorry, all dumb/first timer questions...
