looks like I’ll need to buy a new sander preferably cordless. I need to renovate some cladding, some areas are easy as they’re vertical planks but there are some other areas on the front elevation that are more intricate and might require a sander profile that can get into tight corners.
Do I need two sanders or is there a solution that might have interchangeable parts to do both?

Earlier you said 'This would take some time to do as the building is 12 meters long', so if you can get mains I would use mains sanders because you have a lot to do.

Without seeing the building I'd say you need a half-sheet orbital sander and a mouse/detail sander for internal corners.

First hits on Google:

It may be possible to buy or hire bigger than half-sheet sanders but I haven't used one.
Thanks. I was hoping with modern battery tech now if I bought one with a spare battery it would be sufficient I guess.
