All the skirting downstairs was tacked on, which we asked for as part of the building contract. This made it easy to remove so that the flooring can be laid with a 8mm gap (to allow for expansion) from the wall and the skirting, then re-installed to cover the gap. This looks a lot better than having an additional trim put around the skirting to cover the gap.
The arcitrave also needed to be chiseled out to allow the flooring to slide under it.

All the flooring has been laid now, just need to fix the skirting back on to walls.

Did you put in the flooring yourself? How difficult was it. I am debating whether this can achieved by myself and a few of the guy over a weekend. Perhaps I'll try it out and first then if it's too hard call in the professionals.
Floors look great btw.

Yep we did it ourselves. There were certain spots which were a challenge, around doorways can be tricky. The time consuming bit was chiseling out for the flooring to fit under the door frames. If we were to do it again we would hire a door & skirting board trimmer tool that can cut these out as it would save a lot of time and much neater.
Good luck with your's.
OO that's my kind of flooring colour. The flooring looks beautiful.
Love your expanse of new lawn too.
Thanks Kexkez. It's a nice colour but be warned it's hard to keep clean. We've found the darker the wood the more it shows up footprints. We're still happy with the look of it though.
