What should you use to fill gaps under skirting boards?
Had some vinyl installed, but the gap between the skirting board and floor is bit too much. They're use some type of glue, but is there something else (better looking!) I can use

"Get some beading to go round the bottom of the skirting board"

"There are a few options, you could use a colour match silicone (either the same colour as the flooring or the skirting board) a scotia beading, there are a huge array of pre finished scotia to match most flooring types or you can buy timber beading and paint it. Final but most involved option is to remove the skirting and refit it to close the gap, however this will also require some repair/painting to the wall!"
