How do we replace laminate flooring?

Question

We had a click together vinyl plank floor installed a few years ago but our dog has damaged one of the planks. We do have some leftover planks but we're not sure how to remove and replace it as we didn't install it. Is it easy to do or should we ask for help?

I would recommend getting someone to come fix it for you because it is old. however, if you feel confident you can also do it yourself by following guidance of an expert

You may need to remove the skirting boards to find the starting point and the finishing point of the room so then you can take up the panels to get to the damaged area then replace. ,, Hope this has helped. If you need any other assistance I'm happy to help

Start by removing the long side 1st, lift up and gently pull away and then the header or short side should also come away, obviously be gentle. Repeat until you reach the damage. As for replacing, best if you can either watch a YT video or look at the manufacturer fitting guidelines. Or just call in a professional floorlayer to do it for you...

if it is the LVT Click you are trying to replace definitely ask for help as it is a very delicate/fragile product. Its not actually designed to be taken up and put back down but can be done if very careful and with the know how

Once you get the corner piece out of either side of room or start from middle of door. The pieces should just slide out or even lift up easy enough

Gary · Answer

Definitely ask for help if your not good at DiY. It'll likely need uplifting to the damaged boards

Alex · Answer

Its easy to lay it, if you want all of it replaced, you get to take it all out, if it only a portion of it to be replaced, then you would have to remove from side up to the point you want it done. Note that every row, in order to remove, you would have to first lift it to fourty-five degree angle so it comes out without breaking it
