Newly tiled hallway but gaps all around the edges

Tapatalk is playing up. Cant like or multi quote it seems.

If skirtings are 10"-11" high and you don't want to take off then i under-cut. Or cut tiles within 3 or 4mm and Silicon the perimetre joints.
If the skirting is newly painted id think about using white. But colour co-ordinated i think is better.
If the skirting is to be painted then seal after or tape the boards and seal. The tape will leave i nice straight line to make decorating easier. Any paint that the shakey hand gets on the bead simple wipe off with a baby wipe or peel of when dry with your finger nails. Simples.
With UFH i insist theu come off and suggest the option on all other occassions. Its a far better finish.
Ive fitted 1000's of linear metres of skirt over the years. I scribe in my corners rather than mitre too. 😉
Because its a better finish!

Always scribe mitres with coping saw, it's the only pro way to do skirting! (Thumbs up)
 
Dont know what going on with likes and stuff, looks like dans been messing with it, sometimes a like can defuse a situation

Oh and internal skirts should always be scribed
 
nice neat job John but im thinking we are talking about skirting boards here are we not

Not sure if it makes a difference tbh Brian. The wood is a natural product and expands and contracts whether it be skirting or architrave. I finish all jobs the same whether it be a terraced house with 6x6 whites or like these Porcelanosa tiles in a £750K house.
