Hello,

I hired a builder for refurb on rented property. He's laid the laminated flooring and has done a cowboy job leaving exposed areas around door frames and shortages around the skirting. I know I can use beading to hide around the skirting straights but how do i fill these exposed areas. The builder has taken my money and is not returning back.

Any suggestions on how to rectify and make it look decent for tenants will be appreciated.

TIA

Can you please post some photos on the problem areas?

Scotia beading is normally used when the skirting in already in place.

To secure the scotia, apply adhesive to the skirting board and not the floor. This will allow the floor to expand and contract throughout the seasons.

For the bit near the door frame is it a matter of putting down a wider threshold that'll cover up the bit that doesn't reach?

For the bigger piece I've actually cut a piece to fit into the gap and the rest I filled with grey sealant.
