Plaster part of wall and replace skirting boards

Posted by Liz Willcox , on
I need to replace skirting boards and re-plaster a small part of a wall on the corner where the dog has decided to chew it. What should be done first, the wall or skirting boards?

Hi Liz, a good decorator should be able to make good your wall and skirting using the appropriate fillers which would probably end up saving you money. If you're certain that the wall needs plastering and the skirting replaced then I would do them in that order. Remove the damaged skirting, replanted the wall the fit new skirting and decorate. Hope that helps.
