Stripping a house for complete redecoration - what order to strip and start again?

[Quootiepie]

We need to redecorate the whole house, only the livingroom is partially done and needs a bit of finishing off, but, the rest of the house needs wallpaper removed, paint stripped from staircase, skirting boards, new doors, new bathroom & kitchen, new front door - basically everything including ripping up the carpets for underfloor heating and laying new ones, and removing 3 electric radiators. What order should we strip it down and do it all? Kitchen and bathroom first before we take up the old carpet? But then we are having underfloor heating there too... Flooring last? Leave carpets down as long as possible for paint spills? Our house is mainly all upstairs, only the hall and spare bedroom downstairs so workmen will be up and down the stairs with the kitchen and bathroom stuff... Also, anyone done all this? How much did it cost? It's a small 3 bed house, I am scared it will go way over budget.

hi just in the middle of the mess!
1 room at a time!
at least £20,000.00!

Salient qs before I get into project planning:

Are you living there while this is happening?

How much are you doing yourself and how much relies on Getting A Man In?

How long can you afford and/or get permission to have the skip outside for?

Have you chosen all the fixtures / fittings / finishes?

were livin in the mess with three kids, small three bed.
Tryin to do most jobs, but had window fitters, gas man for heating, plumber for kitchen and bathroom, fitter for kitchen(as didn't want a bodge job fromdh but got 1 from mfi, stay away from them!). dh done electrics we ripped stuff out painting etc. worth gettin a good plaster if your walls arn't great as theres an art to it that my dh hasn't got!
don't sure about permits as we have some private land? but try to keep the turn round on skips quick. best to pile it up then fill to the brim when you have lots.
i'm choosin stuff as i go along so i know what will go and what we will need! Get the big things ordered in time though as this will hold the project back.

(Sep, I was asking Quootie, but thanks anyway )

Are you living in the house???
Try to keep 1 room nice so you can go there when you have had too much!

eeek, yes staying here. Doing abit by ourselves, stripping of wallpaper, pulling up the carpets, the painting and getting someone in to do the hard bits - wallpapering (have tried and I waste too much paper!) obviously the fitting of bathroom/kitchen & tiling, skip I have no idea, we have no drive - possibly 3 times over a week or so? No idea how much we will have to throw away, loads I guess. We laready have a bedroom full of dismantled beds and wardrobes to go. Not chosen anything really yet, but I do know in my mind roughly what I want, just not in detail. Nothing will be very expensive because this house has a low ceiling price so no point having a marble bathroom! £20,000 is scary , very scary! Can't do one room at a time because of the underfloor heating and new flooring - unless we decorate completely apart from flooring, then rip up carpets, do heating and put all flooring down?

It's not like a major overhaul, the odd wall needs abit of plastering (mainly one nursery wall that is textured but is sharp and a rough bit in the hall under the wallpaper) and my botched glossing needs stripping but apart from that, it's paint/wallpaper - the kitchen/bathroom/heating and flooring are the major jobs I guess...
