I've sanded myself, and also hired someone else. I found it works out cheaper to get someone else. However, you need to probably investigate what your existing boards are like and repair where necessary first. Also, you'll want the room totally empty and ready for whoever comes to do the work. I've posted the details of a guy in North/East on the tradesmen thread who is a very good flooring specialist.

The flooring in our flat is shite laminate that badly needs replacing.
We spoke to our downstairs neighbour yesterday who has original floorboards in her flat. We assumed that she would object to us having the same but she said she can hear us anyway so actually wouldn't mind. The original floorboards in her flat have come up beautifully.
Has anyone had any experience of hiring a company to sand and finish neglected floorboards, and are the costs a lot cheaper? It's the entire flooring throughout the flat.
