How To Quickly Remove Skirting

[@isyt1]

Looks great. Only thing I do differently is put a filling knife against the wall so the prybar doesn’t put a dent in it

[@rumeunner3245]

I always just used a thin scrap of plywood which lives I the toolbox

Great job Tony I hope the client was happy with this fantastic job 🥰🥰🥰🥰🛠🛠

[@James-fi6xg]

Thanks for the video Tony. They are useful when you are learning. I'm sure you must be a very busy man👍

[@Matthew2022]

Fantastic job tony mate that’s given me a really good tip when I do my flooring keep up the great work. Loved watching your video

[@davenoble7350]

Nice work Tony👍

[@tonymcroberts3252]

I always reglue the scribes and where the skirting meets the architrave, nice job though mate

[@Daihatsu_Hijet]

Excellent video thanks Tony 👍🏻

[@thetallcarpenter]

Nicely done Tony👊

[@seanmcmanus7030]

Brilliant tony

[@user..Aa..Bb..]

Great job. Is it better this way or screw and nails. Any advice.

[@johnroberts6251]

Hope all mine come off so easily. Just finished our loft conversion and she who must be obeyed has decided we want wooden floors upstairs, not carpets. So I need to remove all the new skirting I put on last week. Unfortunately, I didn't hold back on the grab adhesive!!...😂

[@daves4026]

Interesting video. Personality can’t stand sticking skirting and pinning. I drill counterbores, screw then plug over the screws and trim the plugs. Old school bullet proof. More time but a professional job worth doing

[@soullimbo]

Any advice on how to take off skirting board that are behind radiators where the pipes actually go into the floor?

[@SudarshiFrancis-rr8eh]

Very useful and great explanation

[@martiruda]

Thanks. Question, the gap between the plasterboard and the floor looks big. Did it get filled with expansion foam at all?

[@keithtynan7469]

If you only extend the blade a click (or two) from the tool, it will be far less likely to wander, as the blade shoulders will touch the wall and the skirting board and guide the tool.

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Kieth thanks for the tip completely makes sense will try it next time have a cracking bank holiday all the best Tony 👍

[@vivian9803]

@keithtynan7469 thank you! I will do this when I remove our bedroom baseboards in the coming weeks. During a test run, not only does the blade tend to wander but I also found that with the blade fully extended, I'm cutting a bit deeper into the wallboard than necessary.

[@georginaboyle3452]

Will a new build be this easy? Can’t decide if it’s worth doing to fit our floors or if we’re going to use beading (which I hate 😅)

[@jotaylor2]

New build will be easier..

[@davidmiles9918]

Great job 👍

[@SudarshiFrancis-rr8eh]

Could you please reply me glue name and what tool you use for remove the skirting. Thanks

[@johnwealthy6044]

Lovely job Tony. Was the wall plasterboard as I couldnt make it out?

[@BuildWithAE]

Hey John much appreciated yes it was 1/2 board and scim all the best Tony

[@PengPengPengPengPengPeng]

The "old skirting board" comes away so cleanly... Because it's not old skirting board.

[@shoudd]

How would you go about removing the skirting if they have been fixed with screws and the screw holes have been filled and painted.

[@BuildWithAE]

Try and find them and pick them out or metal blade resiposaw all the best Tony 👍

[@jellyartist]

Run a rare earth magnet over to find steel fixings.

[@DavidSmith-jb6wg]

What was the name of the glue..

[@samf1500]

What grab adhesive does Tony use?

[@BuildWithAE]

😂 hope you are well Sam

[@a.a.alexander6030]

The only point of removing old skirting is to replace it with new skirting. Why did you put the old back on?

[@geordiemod4149]

Has anyone ever told you Tony, that your a double of Dan Burn Newcastle defender your defo twins 😂

[@happyharry7331]

I have always used adhesive to secure skirting it's not like its holding anything up (leastways I hope not) also if the wall is uneven the adhesive just sticks where it touches and the skirting stays straight. then you can fill the gap with more of the adhesive when you lookout the finished job your eye follows the straight skirting not the wobbly wall. PS I am just a DIYer so dont start shouting at me

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Harry sounds absolutely perfect to me mate well done 👍 have a wonderful week all the best Tony

[@simonmiddleton2990]

I am not in anyway criticising Tony, he has forgot more than i will ever know, but would skirting come off that easy if it had been glued in with those new polymer grab adhesives , i have no idea , but brilliant idea because i usually have to fit moulding around the skirting because i have never tried this method, goes without saying that Tonys mehod is much more professional looking . Love the channel by the way Tony .

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Simon thanks for your kind words This is the issue with price work and big developments, now it could be said that the price was good and a bad tradesman either way it shouldn’t have happened personally it was bad tradesman because his or hers pride should stop them doing half a job, now it’s onto product there are many out there me personally I love OB1 because of two reasons 1 it’s an incredible product and does the job really well, 2 they are supporting the youth of today getting into Construction which we all feel strongly about, have a awesome week all the best Tony 👍

[@tomhoad]

Now try doing it with 100 year old 9-inch masonry nails...

[@tonysoprano3691]

😂😂wat a silly video, big aul tool belt for a massive job 👍🏻

[@fireblaster9961]

Something tells me he’s only showing us this to promote the adhesive
