I've put down cheap laminate flooring without removing skirting so there's a gap.
Please is there a better cheaper way to get wood quadrants or MDF or someth ing else paying a lot less than £2.50 a meter?

I had a load of ?2.50 stuff left over from my house was done up. I've been stirring up tins of paint with chopped off lengths of it. S*it!!!! Buy the ?2.50 stuff and a small tin of wood stain. Use a bit of rag to stain the wood as I did. Dead easy and dead quick.
Too late, I'm afraid - the damage is done!
You can't hope to make a decent job unless you remove the skirting and then put it back to cover the gap. Anything else looks naff!
Router 100 pounds? router bit 15 pounds? wood ???pounds.?
Agreed. A few years ago I did my entrance hall and cloakroom with quadrants. It irritated me so much that a few months later I ripped it up and redid it, removing the skirtings first.
Agreed - but it does take the job to another dimension.
FWIW, I did put a hefty bead of caulk in the gap on the starting 'straight' side of a hallway run. It was supposed to be just to seal drafts, but I've not seen the need to add the edging tat.
I agree. But, not a job I fancy.

Buiders were never subtle in their use of fixings for skirtings.
Same stuff as wickes, but nearly a quid a metre instead
bit better?
