Taking up laminate floor planks then re laying them

    Might be needing to get a pipe installed under one end of our kitchen floor. We've got it laid with planks of laminate and it's in good condition so would like to keep if possible. How hard are they to raise and put back without damage if already installed?

    If the board is near the wall and the boards running the right direction you can work back to the one for removal and reinstall after.

    Sounds like you dont have spare boards left over or access to new ones, if you have then you can cut out board in question and fit a new one.

    Are they secured to the floor with any nails or glue?

    If not, it’s a breeze.

    If you’re taking up a lot of them, number them on the back as you lift them to make them easier to re-lay.
