Just take the skirting off and put it back over the top. It's pretty easy, and will give the best result.
Run a stanley knife along the top to break any seal so it doesn't bring bits of wall with it.
It'll either be nailed to the studs of glued to the wall with gripfill. You can run a magnet along it to find the nails. Sometime they let the workie do it and he'll have used screws, but that is rare.
Lever it off against a board so you don't wreck the walls. I bet there are YouTube videos showing how.
