Tiling under existing skirting and dbl glaze profile - TilersForums.com

I'm assuming there will be an inch or so gap once tiles have come up, up to bottom of skirting ... Plastic trim I'm talking of is the trim along the floor in front of door and two walls, again there'll be a hap below which hopefully is enough for 6mm adhesive and 12mm tile and any leveler used if any.

The pvc trim threshold is really cheap to buy in local double glazing shops. As if you try and pull it up it will end up snapping or bending.

There's like 2 x 2m lengths of it...its just a profile.. Its like a mini conservatory.

Steve the UPVC on the floor - can this just not be removed when you tile the floor? Maybe I have misunderstood.

Rip it all out and run those pipes to the rad properly while you're at it ( or get a plumber in to do it...)
Easier to tile and arguably a better finish to put the skirting and trim on after.

hello Stevev, skirting off would mean some easyfill here and there,
not a problem. I have taken off those upvc D profiles off in the past
and where they're glued to the window frame ( in your case the
conservatory door ) some shards of plastic remain stubbornly
glued to the door /window . The chiselling off always leaves gouges.
