"Always best if possible to remove items out the way as it would leave a better finish and allow movement in the flooring"

"Cut round! small cuts making triangle patterns folding as you go then finally a nice thick silicone around all edges, we recommend spraying with washing up liquid and water before smoothing out to get a nice clean finish"

"For the best finish remove it. It is an extra labour but is worth."

"It's a far better finish to remove suite , but if you take pride with a cut and fit , it can look just as good. Personal preference at the end of the day , especially if you're doing it yourself
and you've took pride in the rest of the bathroom you might as well go all out on the floor and remove the suite, I personally would remove it."

"Hi. If its possible to remove it - do it. It will always end up with perfect finish, but that doesn't mean if You cut around, then seal it, it will look bad."
