Tiling a floor - under or up to the skirting board?

[anonymous-user]

The kitchens of Crossflow Hall desperately require a reworking of the floor, as the crappy lino installed when the place was built (ten years ago now) is just that - very, very crappy.
The actual tiling doesn't faze me at all, got all the right tools, done similar before, except being a new build house the skirting boards are as good as integral to the walls where the Polish fkwits who conned Taylor Woodrow in to thinking they could build houses have used bloody sealant type stuff and glued the feckers on. Last time I tried to get the skirting board off it resulted in a full re-boarding of the room in question.
So, when doing the kitchen, although I'd like to remove the skirting, tile up to the wall then refit the skirting, is there any issue with simply cutting the tiles and butt them up against the skirting board as is?

Cut through the plasterboard above the skirting, remove skirting, tile floor, patch plasterboard, replace skirting. Simples innit.

When you say it like that yes, but in reality, no, doubles the job as far as I'm concerned.

That sounds a bit more like it, and yep, it's that bloody shoddy gripfil crap at play here.
