Hi,
You should really sand a floor before painting it as it helps the paint to key into the surface of the wood plus you get a nice smooth finish.

Hi,
It is best to remove the old carpet as the new carpet can move around instead of lying still. Hessian backed carpets are usually harder wearing but need and underlay, foam backed carpets can be laid directly on a hard surface.
