Should I give up and just replace the lot?

[scorpiogirly]

I live in a 1930s house and it has solid oak architrave and skirting upstairs.

I have started sanding the old woodstain off but it is taking forever. The skirting is the worst, it takes a lot of effort to just get one patch sanded nicely.

Should I give up and get a joiner to replace the architrave and skirting? I want the room finished fairly quickly.

It's not as if downstairs matches, it's obviously been replaced at some point.

With the price of wood these days and high demand for trades I'd be more tempted to buy/hire a decent electric sander.

Is it impossible to get a professional decorator on the job?

I think it might cost more to get someone to sand it than replace maybe?
