2Prepare your mortar and allow the mix to set for about five minutes. You can buy mortar premixed, or you can create your own batch using one part masonry cement and three parts fine sand. In either case, add enough water to create a paste â about the consistency of oatmeal.
Use two masonry nails or two screws every 600mm. Try to use old fixing points if you're replacing the skirting. If you use screws, hold the skirting board against the wall and drill a pilot hole through the skirting into the wall. Then, countersink the screw holes, insert a rawl plug and fix with a screw.To hide the screw head use a little filler and sand it flush. The neatest way to fit skirting boards at internal and external corners is to use a mitre block (fig. 4). 2  With a panel saw cut the end of the first piece of skirting at a 45-degree angle. 3  Sand-smooth any rough edges (fig. 4). 4  Fix the skirting with the method that suits your walls (see above).
