  • Should I use Skirting Board Adhesive?

    Hi all, I’m looking to install skirting boards along my hallway walls. I have read some mixed messages about using some adhesives for skirting boards online and some recommending to instead have the skirting boards drilled in. Would adhesives be suitable enough for typical hallways? Is there any specific problems I should look out for if I went for the adhesive route? And are there any particular brands I should steer clear of for this? Currently, I have painted walls, which will be dry and there’s not likely much risk of damage day to day – if this makes a difference at all. I’d like to hear what others’ experiences have been using adhesives versus drilled in skirting boards.

    Plane/Sand + adjust hinges on timber door

    How much is it to get some carpentry done to a timber door? Frame may require a bit of sanding/planeing, but mostly it is a case of hinges needing adjusting (possibly chiselling out a bit) and rehanging it so it opens/closes nice and flush. Thank you.
