you can uses litte pin nails but then you have holes, i normaly use mitre bond/mitre fix  2 part super glue.

Take the skirting off first then you don`t need any beading, it leaves enough room for expansion and looks neat.Skirting is easy to replace

cheers, the conserv and the porch neither have skirting, so its a case of fitting to the wall and outer pvc frames

the beading has a little lip either side

cheers

Alternative to beading you can use a thin strip of wood. It gives your skirting an extra dimension
