Hello helpful people of the DIY thread, just a bit of help needed on sequencing of works that need to be done in our hallway.
We're having the floors and stairs sanded and finished with some Bona product, textured wallpaper to be removed and all walls and ceiling skim coated, sockets and switches replaced using existing wiring and a replacement radiator fitted. New radiator is a cast iron type and twice the length of the old one so a few floor boards need to come up so the pipework can be run underneath.
Would you have the radiator installed after stripping the wallpaper but before plastering (then remove again before skim coat and reinstall after plastering and decorating) so the plasterer can work arround the wall ties for the radiator etc? Floor sanding to be done last?
