Anyone done this before? We are needing to lift all the flooring in the house for our new heating system getting fitted 
Just spent over £300 on our living room flooring getting done less than 3 month ago so dont really want to be damaging it! its also the click stuff.

it just unclicks... if its under your skirting boards your will need to take them off...
you might want to see if you can get a box of the flooring were you originally got it from as its will be next to impsoible to get everything up without damaging 1 or 2 pieces.

Take your time, the click grooves and lips can easily break. If the floor is laid in a staggered, floorboard pattern then mark the back of each peice in pencil to help put it back

take your time is the key.
If its crap thin laminate then you may end up breaking some of it but if its decent stuff then you should be able to take it up without damaging it.
We took up our floor when we put our extension in without any problems.

If it's good laminate and isn't click shit it'll be glued together. If it's glued, your fucked.
If it is click stuff, get 2 of you on it and take a whole row up at once. Near on impossible to take it up piece by piece.

only the crap stuff breaks to bits. Decent click stuff will come apart fine.
