Hello,

My husband and I are renovating our first property together (a 1970s place). We removed the old radiators and have exposed the floor boards. We had a plumber round about fitting new radiators and he suggested holding fire on sanding down the floorboards in these rooms in case he has to move pipework as one of the radiators is 47mm too large for the spot (we struggled to get matching radiators which fit all 3 rooms as the sizes don't match up with standard). My question is - what order do we proceed with these items needing doing?.

i) mist coating + top coating walls

ii)sanding floors

iii) fitting skirting

iiii) fitting radiators

 Each seems to depend on the other ie. We can fit skirting board until we've sanded, we can't sand until radiators are fitted, we can't fit radiators until walls behind are painted. I might be over complicating this.... Just to also mention that we've sanded one room already and the finished floor is very smooth with nails punched in and filled over, and gaps between boards filled, so I suspect popping up a floor board would not be possible after this stage.

Any help much appreciated!
