Gaps in skirting board

[Prudie]

Our conservatory is about 10 years old has a ceramic tile floor and normal wood skirting board. Over the years I think it must have settled and in some places the skirting board has up to a 1cm gap between the tiles and wood at the bottom. This allows all sorts of insect dross and dirt to come in (presumably from the foundations?). I was thinking the quickest and easiest solution was to go round it with bathroom sealant. Can anyone envisage problems or suggest a better answer?

I shan't even bother opening the link - spooky that they registered just to post it though.

Albags - but they are the experts?

[AlBags]

Spammers.
Experts at what? Passing on machined timber?
They don't make it .. just money from dealing it.
See what they have in Accessories to fit it? ... Gripfill : )

[AlBags]

Try Gripfill on an old property with an uneven wall length of 4M+
Proper way is peg and square nailed in pairs, or maybe recessed screwed, depending on backing material.
I cut plugs with a plug cutter for hardwood or natural finishes, and screw on if necessary.

albags - was meant as a laugh about the spam - them being experts (I know how to scribe,plug cut etc)

[AlBags]

lol Tony .. Yes, got the drift.

Some of them advertise rubbish and wind me up : )

[TonyV]

Albags - If they could spam properly - you might even have to laugh - I did - realise you got the drift

Elvis - will that look good? How you thinking of making a clean join on a nice tiled floor? 10mm is hardly a bead

[ELVIS68]

It is from head height

[TonyV]

Elvis it's a conservatory - there might be a seat or two in there? I don't know - I would replace skirting scribed in if affordable

What about the skirting though craft?

[TonyV]

Craft - good advice

Personally .. I would replace the conservatory. Especially if you have the budget skirting (4") or short Torus, you should replace with Homebase Ezi-skirt. This will/should cover existing joint. B and Q Conservatories are pretty cheap and quick to replace. Do sell house at same time. Result .. A great architectural improvement. Allows you to stain/paint up freshly.
Sellafield looks tacky in my opinion. I go to great lengths to use it
