If you’re thinking about changing your laminate flooring, you might ask this: Can laminate be lifted and relaid? The quick answer is yes, raising and reinstalling laminate flooring is possible, but there are several things to consider first. This article will examine the lifting and relaying of laminate flooring and when it is preferable to use the experts at Best Flooring Fitters London.

Raising and relaying laminate flooring

You must carry out the following procedures to raise and reinstall laminate flooring:

Take off any baseboards or skirting boards to access the flooring margins around the room’s perimeter.
Lift the laminate flooring’s edges gently away from the wall using a crowbar or pry bar.
Lifting and detaching the planks or tiles from the subfloor as you move slowly throughout the room is advised.
Place the planks or tiles in a dry, secure spot while taking care not to harm them.
Remove any adhesive or debris left over from the old flooring to prepare the subfloor.
Reinstall the planks or tiles in their original location, being careful to interlock them properly and leaving a little expansion gap all the way around.
Baseboards and skirting boards should be reinstalled.
When to Leave It to the Experts

While it is technically possible to raise laminate flooring and lay it again, there are better solutions than this. For example, replacing your flooring might be more economical if it is harmed, worn out, or obsolete. Lifting and relaying the flooring could also result in additional damage or instability if installed improperly or over a damaged subfloor.
