BotusBuild Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Internal floors and walls are on my mind, keeping me awake at night. Which should I do first?  Floors first? Once complete you have to protect them for a (long) period of time from scrapes, bumps, plaster splashes etc., but once done you know where the walls have to finish 🙂 Walls first? Do all your plastering and any painting etc. without worrying about damage to the floor. Do you bring the plaster board/plaster down to the base floor (18mm plywood), or leave a gap? How big a gap? So, I am thinking walls first. FYI, I will be be laying UFH on the upper floors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Walls first. Leave a gap at the bottom a bit wider than the flooring you expect to lay. Skirting board was invented to cover the gap between the bottom of the wall and the floor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
