From Stair Skirt Boards and Trim Refresher, Step 4: Measure and Cut New Skirt Boards
Begin by accurately measuring the total length of the wall where the skirting board will be installed. Once measured, take your skirting board and use a hand saw to cut it slightly longer than the measured length. This 'oversized' cut provides a small margin for error and makes it easier to handle before making final precise cuts.

From Stair Skirt Boards and Trim Refresher, Step 7: Install New Trim (Base Shoe/Quarter-Round)
Carefully position the adhesive-backed skirting board against the wall. Press it firmly into place, ensuring it sits flush against both the floor and the wall. Pay close attention to aligning any mitered joints with adjacent skirting board pieces to create a seamless corner. Hold it in place for a moment to allow the adhesive to begin gripping.
