I'm renovating a room in my Victorian house. The skirting boards are arguably overdue for replacement - but I dread the prospect of ripping them out and replacing them. Does anyone know any tricks for tidying old skirting boards up?
The main tattyness is the top edge, which are uneven in all directions after 104 years of amateur wallpapering, painting, scraping, filling, refixing. I've been along them with decorator's filler but they still look rough...
Cheers,
Frank
