Spare Tool

It's the moulded frame that meets the floor and that skirting will butt up against inside the room. I thought an architrave was a frame? Perhaps I've used the wrong word...
Architrave is the moulded wood strip fitted after the casing/frame goes in and is separate to the frame.. Have you got a multi tool?

Well I was trying to be funny...but you've spoiled it :) haha
The movie reference was from the 5th Element with Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich, when they are stood at boarding gate for the vacation space ship. Haha
Just so you know.
Good movie. Gary old man plays a great baddie.
Anyway off topic a little hehe
 
Have you got a multi tool?
No, but when I've fitted laminate flooring I've got by with a saw and chisel on wood and it's worked fine. These appear to be an MDF type material so should be easier than wood. I was just wondering about the height to remove but will use the laser level technique.

I managed fine for years with a wood saw, plunge cut multi tool just makes it easier..

Boggs does full refits so he gets to decide. Same with me
Im presuming he is on about a floor not a full bathroom refut , so you would NEVER take the arc of in a house where you are tiling floors, unless the house is being completely renovated .
Bad advice imo to rip arcs off

sorry but I completely disagree. Suggesting you would never do something is wrong. Sometimes you would leave the architrave on and sometimes you would remove them and replace/refit. It depends completely on the level of refit.

Personally if I was tiling say a kitchen floor then I’d prefer to take the skirts off too and then probably the architrave. That doesn’t mean that on some jobs I would never leave them on. Sometimes I would leave them on. Never is wrong.
