That sounds grim.
We're lucky that we've moved to a bigger place and had a good builder who hasn't stressed us out as much as the previous ones did. Getting a whole room done myself has given us a boost as well.

This is a wall light in our bedroom.
It is, I think, made of plaster. I don't hate it but I don't like that it's painted the same minty green as the rest of the room.
Would I repaint it with normal emulsion, or do I need something more especially heat proof?

We've been living with no real downstairs since November.The living room hold-up was my own doing, but since we were able to move back in that's made a big difference.
We got a mini cooker after getting really sick of microwaving and that made a difference.
In the last place we did even worse - we had one room only and a bathroom with only joists on the floor for a few weeks.
It's doable but I think you can underestimate how stressful it is to have to walk up and downstairs to fill a kettle up, and having no room other than a bedroom to read or relax in (total first world problems obviously).

And put some new dents in it?

I think it was two days. They later did a large downstairs lounge/dining room in one full (but long) day.

This is how much it was:
Areas: Option 1 Front Bedroom: 13.44 m2 – 6` Pine floorboards
Back Bedroom: 5.84 m2 (12 To Re-stitch the Patch & 1)
Landing & Cupboard: 3.73 m2 Basic
Services:
Screw Removal: to the Front Bedroom, Refix with Brad Nails.
Boards fitted: customer will supply / Uplift from the Ground floor as Required – 18 linear meters allowed
Sanding: 3 Stage process (dust free machines)
Gap Fill: Resin – To the Doorways on the landing
Buff & Vacuum
Finishing: 4 coats of Clear Lacquer (Satin/Matt)Prices:
Basic price £829.16
V.A.T £165.84
Grand total £995.00
To be honest I'd forgotten it was that expensive - but that's including sanding and finishing 2 rooms and a landing as well.
It seems like refitting boards tends to be about £24/Sq m, but hearth removal and the waste disposal will probably add more on to that as well.

Looks as though the brakes don't work too well.

We used Floor Sanding Experts in our old place and they did a good job involving some similar work.

I wonder what former footballer Gavin Peacock is up to nowadays?
