What's best to paint first skirting or walls?

[annabannan]

I've googled this and there's reasons for both, what do you think?

I do walls first.

Don't want to dribble on the skirting.

Skirting boards first.

I'd do skirting. It's gloss and anything else you get on it can be scrubbed off.
Assuming you aren't glossing the walls .

Undercoat skirting, paint walls, top coat skirting. If I'm only doing too coat on skirting then walls first then skirting.

Skirting first because I can do it in my lunch break when WFH. Walls second because I have to organise annual leave.

If I’m doing it properly it goes ceiling, walls, skirting

I always understood the rule to be start with the top and work down -so ceilings,walls then skirtings.

Skirting first - gloss takes longer to dry.

If doing it properly ceilings first, the skirting then walls.

Top down as drips fall or run down. Ceilings, walls, door frames, skirting boards.
Skirting can easily be wiped of emulsion though, baby wipes are excellent for this.
