Thanks dudes. I went back and read your posts on sanding and watched some vids too. I think I’m going to give it a go. There’s a Jewson hire place 100m from here which helps make the DIY prospect easier.
It’s an 4 storey Victorian terrace townhouse and we already have sanded and varnished boards in hallway, living room and study on the upper ground floor. They have gaps but are in good nick and I think they look great for the age of the house and with the original features.
The room I’m contemplating is the main bedroom on the floor above. Currently thick carpet and underlay. Part of me thinks it’s madness to make it colder but I fucking hate the cream carpet and sleep with the windows open 10 months a year anyway so wtf.
