    You will have agro getting laminate floor up and refitted. Does it tuck under the skirting board?
    You might be better using a hole saw and cutting holes is places where it will not be seen.
  • Get a very big rug.

    We paid as buyers for a carpenter to lift floorboards - but we didn't share the report with the owner. Just the basic summary and cost to repair a minor issue (new airbrick).

    Albeit they wanted all our reports... Cheeky sods!
    Why didn't you sell it to them to recoup the cost?

    That's what we ended up doing. The store area is not covered by the laminate flooring and we lift the edge to take photos. Hopefully that's enough.

    Argh ... buyer wants to see 2 more locations that have been identified as "damp" by the surveyor. Not sure what they'll find out, lift the floor and voila it's concrete.

    So I've told the EA that I'm happy to provide access if the buyer wants to organise a builder to lift the floor and put it back again.
