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.
