It's 2022 coming to 2023.. is old school floor skirting still needed? I plan to remove mine. Without skirting look better..

Tile, marble or wooden flooring?

If got timber flooring, still need skirting to hide the expansion gaps at the corners. The same goes for marble and tiles.

You house, your floor, your walls, your money, your taste and your call.

you don't mop the floor?

Personally, I don't like skirtings be it marble, timber or PVC. Too fugly.

I rather use a edge cutter to trim the timber flooring nicely and straight and fill the edges with silicone. Gaps under 10mm evenly.

Unfortunately, many contractors don't have such tool to do the job. They mostly used traditional tools.

Your house, you can do whatever u want

Leave it. If plain wall that part will get dirty and gotta repaint and colour mismatch.

Good luck when u mop floor. Your walls will be black after awhile.

skirtings are required to cover gaps, same goes to human

Can still do skirting, but better do just do a short/small one, like 1.5cm height, rather than the all 7-8 cm ones.

Anyone know contractor can help me with floor skirtings? My home doesn't have one and now it looks so dirty because of mopping. Most contractor i find doesnt do floor skirting only. They want take jobs changing floor + skirtings.

Personal preference...I still prefer skirting ..

Timber flooring definitely still need skirting

Please understand 1st the function of skirting.
If you house wall senget skirting removed where got nice???

Install SPC flooring and ask them to install skirting

Of course can but I don't like it.

Crazy meh 7-8cm skirting.
Even 1.5 cm better don't do.
If you mean the edge profile that terminate between floor and wall is not skirting.

Think about the function of the skirting then you decide.

But I don't want to remove/destroy existing tiles in my home
