If he cuts the length of the skirting he might get away with a bit of sanding and filler until he decides to get a professional… Are you painting it up @Juhniallio?

Yeah bang on, ATM too wide for caulk, but if really stuck he could pack inside the skirting board the lash the caulk on( not filler)

You need to fix the other part aswell or else it’ll be horrid looking, fill the wall with interior filler ( fast drying) sand with medium paper, paint, and then caulk

Sell or burn the house. Corky is advising packing and caulking. The rats are zoning in already. Would you buy a terrier by any chance.

TBH most of the houses I’m working in( not a lot lately) have similar skirting board issues, mason and plasterers must have been langers altogether
Photo no 2 was done by a butcher.No doubt about it.No chippy worth his salt would leave a corner like that.Id fire a lad if he left a job like that.

Agree, same all over doing a local GAA club ATM, not a straight wall in , or around the place, so all trades at it
Holy shit that’s the worst skirting joint I’ve ever seen… and that takes some doing.

Take a closer look at the gaping hole. There’s probably more to come off, already loose and cracked but hidden by paint. Gouge out anything that’s loose. Wet the area… skim it with polyfilla and sand it down lightly. Let it dry for 24hrs. Don’t trust the 20minute shite. Paint the area once or twice and then the whole wall again.
Wish your carpenter all the best. He’s going to need it.

Honest to God I was in a house last year and I could put my big hand down behind the skirting board all over the downstairs of the house, banana wall
