What comes first - plastering or skirting fitting?

hi, yes all plastering done first then add skirking.so you get a nice clean finnish for painting.same with arks around doors. thanks g.b maintenance uk.

Let your plasterer do his skimming first, that way he doesn't need to try to trowel up from above a skirting board. He'll skim to an inch or so above the floor, you fit your skirting around when you're happy with what he's done.

Plastering 1st then skirting.

The best thing is to remove all skirting and door architrave have the house skimed them put new woodwork on. It is very hard to remove skirting without damaging plaster. Hope this helps

plaster first no mess on skirts

no fit the skirting first ,then let the plasterer plaster over it!

allways plaster first.

In my experience skirting will go on after plaster has been applied. I find a nice tip is to run scrim along where skirting is going plaster down to it, then when finished final cross trowel pull the tape and you will have a nice clean edge with no raised bits. The chippy will love you for it.

Plastering

Plastering comes first

Plaster first let it dry then skirtings doors ect.

Plastering needs to be carried out, and carpentry afterwards.

Always plaster before skirting boards are fixed , this way you will get a nice neat finish onto new plastered walls .

Plaster first then fit skirting and architrave to get the best finish.

Plastering ALWAYS first, then sirtings & architraves, it`s how a professional would work it.
