  • My flooring fitter finally resurfaced. His decorator had gone quiet and rather than tell me he just went quiet too. Anyway, back on course.

    Decorator reckons the paint on the stairs will take a long while to strip and has plumped for nitromors. @Airhead Is this the sort of thing an infra red heat gun would make short work of...?
    Plan is to strip and repaint the stairs, then have runner down the middle.

  • That looks like my stairs - we chipped off the thicker paint with a scraper, pulled out/pushed in any nails and staples, sanded the steps to smooth them out then just painted over what was left. It looks ok from a distance but the wood wasn't great to begin with.
    Sanding took ages.
