It's the moulded frame that meets the floor and that skirting will butt up against inside the room. I thought an architrave was a frame? Perhaps I've used the wrong word...

Architrave is the moulded wood strip fitted after the casing/frame goes in and is separate to the frame.. Have you got a multi tool?

No, but when I've fitted laminate flooring I've got by with a saw and chisel on wood and it's worked fine. These appear to be an MDF type material so should be easier than wood. I was just wondering about the height to remove but will use the laser level technique.

I managed fine for years with a wood saw, plunge cut multi tool just makes it easier..

sorry but I completely disagree. Suggesting you would never do something is wrong. Sometimes you would leave the architrave on and sometimes you would remove them and replace/refit. It depends completely on the level of refit.

Personally if I was tile say a kitchen floor then I’d prefer to take the skirts off too and then probably the architrave. That doesn’t mean that on some jobs I would never leave them on. Sometimes I would leave them on. Never is wrong.
