Which should come first, painting skirting boards or changing carpet?

Best to do it in the sequence that Grumpy Chap advised, this will give time for floor to get aired and cleaned a couple of times before new carpet is laid which should lead to the room feeling and smelling fresher.

@Lorian , get yourself a leather/ shoe cutting knife with a wooden handle , £9.99 in Screwfix.

I have one 40+ years now and still does the job and very easy to sharpen on the nearest kerbstone.
