How old is the paint?
Gloss paint used to have lead in it.
You don't want a house full of lead-containing dust.
Ever thought of using 'Liquid Sanding'? -
Depends on condition. I'm seeing more woodwork that only needs cleaning and de glossing before painting. Maybe a light sand to denib with 240 grit. There are some deglossing fluids you can spray on that do a great job.
You might have some 70's gloss paint with carpet painted in though, in which case 120 grit. If there are some horrible areas 80 grit.

Repainting the skirting boards. What grade sandpaper should I use before applying?
