Gaps under skirting boards
2 Answers
Home has recently been flooded by a broken stop tap. I am now drying out with dehumidifers, fans etc. the floors are concrete. All skirting boards have a gap under them from the floor. As I put the house back together again -
would it be adviseable to seal this gap or is it there for a reason?

Not strictly necessary today, except that some people like it because they can tuck the carpet in under. Right now, it's helping to dry things out by letting air get to it.
No big deal either way :o)))
