Just remember if the kid likes to rip things off maybe a tiled skirting might not be a good option as any sharp edges will rip his hands to shreds. Last thing id want is them putting in a claim

The voice of reason.

This really could happen so I think I will take a day or two to think about this job.

Sharp edges really would cause some damage with this kid.

Cut fingers and me the only one to blame.

Many thanks for that.

There should'nt be any sharp edges if your doing skirting....

I am cutting the tiles myself out of floor tile rejects.

Bound to be a few sharp edges, they are not ready made skirting tiles.

I will have to sand each top edge and burr it for sharp edges.

A burring tool should do it although it might ruin the face of the tile if I burr too much and too deep.

What sort tool do you have...
 
Think I'd trim the skirting if I was bothered about edges..

How about what you'd normally find in probably every house in the country??

I do have a wet cutter yes.

It's what the lady wants, wooden skirting would be a lot easier and quicker but he who pays the piper calls the tune.

Also one wall is solid wall with plaster on top.
So we have one wall that is plasterboard in a very bad way and the other that is solid with a plastered finish.

Get a bullnose thingie for your grinder
