Clueless... which order should these jobs be done in?

[limegreenpickle]

Please help! I have been saving up for years and am planning on improving my sitting room by installing a wood burner, having new flooring (probably oak???) painting or wallpapering walls, new curtains etc. However, I am useless at planning and cannot get my head round which order to approach this in... I think the wood burner would need to go in first, but need reassurance, or should the floor go down before? Thanks.

Wood burner
Floor
Paint inc skirting etc
Wallpaper
Curtains

Its fiddly to decorate behind a stove once its in. Is the hearth existing?

I would do any building work first like hearth lining, and whatever surface is going under the stove, then decorate, then install the stove, then floor then curtains.

I'd leave the curtains till after floor so you can measure acurately.

I don't know the correct order.

I would do

Fire
Ceiling and walls
floor
Soft furnishings

We're doing similar to you in our house, in this order...

1. Any fireplace alterations
2. replastering and painting walls
3. chimney lining and multifuel stove installation
4. new flooring (carpet in our case, if hard, easy clean flooring then I may have done it before stove installation).

Putting curtains up after painting as window is straight out onto the street but would take them down and store in another room while stove installation and new flooring work is carried out.

Thank you for the swift replies. The existing fire and hearth need to come out and new 'stand' for wood burner put in. I hadn't thought about decorating behind it. Thanks for the help.

We just did the same. We did first we striped the old wallpaper off and filled in the holes then we

1 had ceiling plastered
2 had old gas fire taken out and hole in wall filled in and plastered
3 had wooden floor fitted because it went underneath the glass hearth
4 had new wood burner fitted and glass hearth on top of wooden floor
5 had room painted and decorated
6 put up new lights, curtain rails and curtains

I kept the old underlay and laid it back on top of my new wooden floor while all the other jobs were being done to protect it.

Protecting the floor with the underlay is a great idea. Remember the hearth needs to be higher than the carpet/floor for building regs and you may get an airbrick in for regs as well in which case plaster dust goes everywhere.
