Sanding wooden floors - DIY or pay someone?

Our kitchen and dining room have wooden floors that are looking grubby and scruffy. I think it's a bit of water damage and general wear. We're thinking of hiring a sander and sanding the floors, then varnishing with clear varnish or wax (not sure). We like the pale colour as it is, so wouldn't want to stain the wood. Would this work? Any tips 're product to use? Or should we pay a professional to do a proper job of It? And if so, roughly what would that cost? Thanks in advance.

Newts that's not a bad price. A couple of years ago I got a quote in the region of 2K for about 35sqm. And we're not in London. I'd probably get it done for that much. :-)

The before and after pics attached. Well worth paying for.

For those in/near York we used these guys:

We hired the equipment and did it ourselves but they also offer a full service.
