Test fit it and trim as necessary. the wall required to join a second piece of skirting board to the first to cover the length of the wall,so we miter both ends at 45 degrees, cutting one with the miter saw head to the left side and the second cut with the saw head to the right. The skirting board will then join with only one cut line show


we then easily nail the skirting board to the wall using the nail gun or some finish nails and a hammer. Mietering is done on the the external corners corners at 45 degrees, coping out the back side of the skirting board to get a neat, close fit. When the fits are done we switched to wood files inorder for us to finish the trimming, taking off a little at a time until the fit is perfect,we then filled in any line still showing with caulking around the top of the baseboard to fill any gaps caused by uneven walls .When we finish the skirting we clean the area dispose any waste then pack our tools away.
