Large gaps between original floorboards and skirting

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.11 PM

I have a bad draught where the floorboards do not meet the skirting. I am going to carpet the floor but this will still not close the gap fully. What can I do? Many thanks

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Sounds to me like you need your floor joists jacking up, or replace skirts to fit.

The only real solution to this is to replace the skirting board.
