Planning on renovations next year, how would you prioritise this work if it were you?

[ColinRobinsonsfamiliar]

Hall, stairs & landing needs painting.
banisters need ripping out and replacing.
new carpets on stairs & landings.
flooring in hallway leading into kitchen and dining room needs ripping up and replacing. (Kitchen does not… yet, job for 2024).
Living room, dining room & kitchen all needs painting .
Living room needs new flooring, chimney breast needs papering.

Where would you start?
Thanks!

I'd probably do it in this order:

banisters need ripping out and replacing.
chimney breast needs papering.
Living room, dining room & kitchen all needs painting .
Hall, stairs & landing needs painting.
Living room needs new flooring,
flooring in hallway leading into kitchen and dining room needs ripping up and replacing. (Kitchen does not… yet, job for 2024).
new carpets on stairs & landings.

In my experience doing the flooring last protects it from the decorating and the high traffic of having trades in the house. However if you're doing your kitchen in 1.5 years or so it'll be worth getting stuff to protect it then!

That makes sense bravo re the flooring.

Just bear that in mind that if you're doing flooring last, you may need to remove / replace skirting boards, so plan ahead when you're doing the painting beforehand.

Are you planning to do it all yourself, or get someone in?

Getting someone in.
Not planning to remove any skirting boards!
We put the current flooring down with skirts in situ so I’m sure we won’t need to interfere with them.

I would do anything messy/ building work first. Then decorating. And leaving hall to last if all rooms lead off this and there for messy work will spread to hallway.

I would do building/ripping out type stuff first, then the decorating then the carpets/flooring. Speaking from (bitter) experience I would rather have to deal with bare floors for a while and know that my flooring could go straight in after decorating than decorate and discover something which then results in you having the damage or alter your nice, freshly painted skirting boards! If you’re reasonably confident that you’re not going to uncover any unplanned horrors when you do floors then do them last to save your nice new floors from having paint splashed on them. Definitely carpets last!
