Hi,

My wife and I have recently bought a new house which has laminate wood
flooring in most rooms. We have subsequently realised that the central
heating pipework requires replacing in several rooms.

Clearly in order to perform the work on the pipework part of the
laminate flooring will have to be lifted. We like the flooring and
think it would be a shame to lose it. The previous owner has informed
us that the laminate flooring is of the type that is reusable (from
B&Q), however, I am unsure what is the best approach for lifting the
laminate without damaging it. (Unfortunatley The previous owner could
offer us no assistance with this.)

Can anyone advise on a strategy they have used to remove and reuse
laminate and the tools that should be used?

Any web sites that could advise (with pictures too) would be helpful.

Thank you for your help from a DIY novice.

Andy
