How To Quickly Remove Skirting

We're proud to be working in collaboration with OB1, supporting the youth of today: www.ob1original.com
In this video How to Quickly Remove and Reapply Skirting, Tony will teach you to do just that!
This is a new build so what we're going to do first is take off the skirting that's already on the walls by scoring a Stanley Knife across the top of the skirting and gently prying it away from the wall with a wrecking bar or crow bar.
Once we've got the skirting off and the walls have all been cleaned down we can start to dress and prep the skirting ready to put it back on.
Now we've got the back of our boards all cleaned, nice and smooth we can start to apply our grab adhesive, OB1 Grip & Grab where we can start to put the skirting back on with a little tap from the hammer.

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

[@isabelvalades8160]

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

[@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

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

Excellent video thanks Tony 👍🏻

[@James-fi6xg]

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

[@davenoble7350]

Nice work Tony👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

Nicely done Tony👊

[@SudarshiFrancis-rr8eh]

Very useful and great explanation

[@seanmcmanus7030]

Brilliant tony

[@davidmiles9918]

Great job 👍

[@PengPengPengPengPengPeng]

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

[@tonymcroberts3252]

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

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

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

[@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 😅)

[@soullimbo]

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

[@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!!...😂

[@SudarshiFrancis-rr8eh]

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

[@DavidSmith-jb6wg]

What was the name of the glue..

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@geordiemod4149]

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

[@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.

[@samf1500]

What grab adhesive does Tony use?

[@BuildWithAE]

😂 hope you are well Sam

[@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

[@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?

[@tonysoprano3691]

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

[@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 👍

[@fireblaster9961]

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

[@tomhoad]

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