I laid a laminate floor 8 months ago and have only now just got around to sorting out the new skirting boards. (my wife loves me...) I had noticed that a couple of parts of the floor would bow ever-so-slightly when the house was warm and I just put this down to the boards expanding and contracting a little. However, when I was fitting my living room skirting this weekend I noticed that in some places, the 5-10mm gap I had left all around the room has been completely eaten up and some boards have moved so much that they are now right up against the plaster. I skirted regardless as the living room is not the main problem area. I am concerned that with winter coming and the central heating kicking in, the boards might go really springy and bow even more. The main problem areas are between the living room floor and the hallway. I boarded continuously from one room to another so I cannot lift these middle boards at all.
Should I just take my chances and see what comes, or, lift the entire hallway floor and relay???
