What would you do with this?

[Eddie Strohacker]

Refitting a small piece of skirting board butting up against an end panel here & it's going on just as it came off with about half of the profile sticking out. I could fix it as is or bevel it in or round it off. What would look best in your view?

The last time this place saw a straight line was on the architect's drawing. I can ameliorate the angle by packing it out a bit but it will be a compromise between reducing the angle & having the skirt look like buck teeth. The piece isn't fitted in the pic, only offered up.

I'd use a thinner profile of skirting board, fit in position square and upright and fill any gaps.

Behind the piece the cuts in a sharp 90 degrees a cm or two, so any chopping in would see the wall overlap the top of the skirting. I can't go in, only out without using a thicker profile, so although I can square it up, I'll never get it flush with the end panel.

Sorry for adding bits of info late, I probably should have said that at the outset, so really the choices are chamfer, round off or leave as is?

Obviously will fill & make good and clean the horrible mould off the door frame too!

Cheers everyone, I chamfered it off in the end. Appreciate the advice
