if it is the type you have to glue then you can forget about trying to get it relaid, however if it is the stuff that clicks together then you can take it up quite easily by getting one of the edge bits up first then working your way back through the room, they say that stuff is good for about 3 or 4 re-lays. Have fun

This is going to sound like a smart remark, but it isn't. Very carefully.
I did this recently and you will find that there are sections that are difficult to get up- such as under doorjam's. I had many things I needed to do so I basically ripped these sections out. Problem is; not only did I destroy these pieces, but I busted up some of the click-locks in the surrounding boards.

Number the bottom, starting like 1 row, #1 etc, take a digital picture to show what and how you took it up.

well the truth is. if it is glued down you will probably have to replace it. and to get it up from there just use an ice scraper with a 5 foot handle found at hardware store. if not glued. try a hand held ice scraper and just rool it out of the way.

i am a carpenter and joiner and i would run a mile from a job like that as i think it would be virtually impossible. if i had laid it it would go under door frames, architrave etc and there would be no going back, but then i do do a nice job!

ooooooohhh
thats a tricky one .
you must start taking up from where it finished ,
that means maybe taking a skirting off or a door strip ,
number them as you take them off
are you certain its not glued
