How To Quickly Remove Skirting

In this video How to Quickly Remove and Reapply Skirting, Tony will teach you to do just that!

This is a new build so what we're going to do first is take off the skirting that's already on the walls by scoring a Stanley Knife across the top of the skirting and gently prying it away from the wall with a wrecking bar or crow bar.

Once we've got the skirting off and the walls have all been cleaned down we can start to dress and prep the skirting ready to put it back on.

Now we've got the back of our boards all cleaned, nice and smooth we can start to apply our grab adhesive, OB1 Grip & Grab where we can start to put the skirting back on with a little tap from the hammer.

Looks great. Only thing I do differently is put a filling knife against the wall so the prybar doesn’t put a dent in it

[isabelvalades]

Great job Tony I hope the client was happy with this fantastic job 🥰🥰🥰🥰🛠🛠

[James-fixg]

Thanks for the video Tony. They are useful when you are learning. I'm sure you must be a very busy man👍

[Matthew]

Fantastic job tony mate that’s given me a really good tip when I do my flooring keep up the great work. Loved watching your video

[tonymcroberts]

I always reglue the scribes and where the skirting meets the architrave, nice job though mate

[user..Aa..Bb..]

Great job. Is it better this way or screw and nails.
Any advice.

[daves]

Interesting video. Personality can’t stand sticking skirting and pinning. I drill counterbores, screw then plug over the screws and trim the plugs. Old school bullet proof. More time but a professional job worth doing

[johnroberts]

Hope all mine come off so easily. Just finished our loft conversion and she who must be obeyed has decided we want wooden floors upstairs, not carpets. So I need to remove all the new skirting I put on last week. Unfortunately, I didn't hold back on the grab adhesive!!...😂

[georginaboyle]

Will a new build be this easy? Can’t decide if it’s worth doing to fit our floors or if we’re going to use beading (which I hate 😅)

[soullimbo]

Any advice on how to take off skirting board that are behind radiators where the pipes actually go into the floor?

[tracer]

Easy in a modern building but a completely different story in an old house that has had walls re skimmed with the old skirting fitted back with 4” clout nails.

[martiruda]

Thanks. Question, the gap between the plasterboard and the floor looks big. Did it get filled with expansion foam at all?

[johnwealthy]

Lovely job Tony.
Was the wall plasterboard as I couldnt make it out?

[PengPengPengPengPengPeng]

The "old skirting board" comes away so cleanly... Because it's not old skirting board.

[SudarshiFrancis-rreh]

Could you please reply me glue name and what tool you use for remove the skirting. Thanks

[keithtynan]

If you only extend the blade a click (or two) from the tool, it will be far less likely to wander, as the blade shoulders will touch the wall and the skirting board and guide the tool.

[geordiemod]

Has anyone ever told you Tony, that your a double of Dan Burn Newcastle defender your defo twins 😂

[shoudd]

How would you go about removing the skirting if they have been fixed with screws and the screw holes have been filled and painted.

[a.a.alexander]

The only point of removing old skirting is to replace it with new skirting. Why did you put the old back on?

[patterdalezipsuzilil]

Omg a video about taking a skirt off 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
