Stooby2 - What would be the least-damaging way to remove the remaining skirting board on that wall? I don't really want to damage the plaster any further but I can see how fitting one long skirting board could be a lot neater and hassle-free. Also - are places like b&q and wickes okay for skirting boards?

A sturdy paint scraper at the cut end to see if you can lever it out and pull it off - you may have to help it a bit along the length. If you do any minor damage it's simple to fill with polyfilla or similar.

B&Q etc are ok, but your local wood yard might have longer lengths and more styles.
