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
Golfgti build quality is average at best.

it is the best way, but if half the plaster comes of with it like it did in my bed room, if your in a newish house the itl be ok.

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
