Im in process (tomorrow) fiting new 5" taurus skirting board and 3" taurus architrave in my front room. My question is which do i install first, the architrave or the skirting board ?

my gut instinct is saying the architrave so that the skirting can be cut to the correct length after its fitted but id rather have someone's advice so I dont mess it up....

Thanks in advance

Loki.
