Gaps in flooring.

[Greenie9657]

Good morning all,

Gaps have began appearing in the floor we had fitted over 12 months ago. The floor has a very slight raise which I guess it can be expected. As I cannot move the board back, is there any fillers on the market that I can use to make the gap disappear? I’ve shown a pic of the worse gap. The flooring was from howdens and was a new line. It’s like wood but on a bendy, rubber type board. Can’t remember what they called it.

Many thanks

It’s vinyl click.
It should be able to be knocked back in. You need to hit the end of the row with a block and hammer.

Many thanks daz. It must be under the kitchen units where the end is. I’ll have a look later.

Is there any such filet incase I cannot get it back together?

You can see then length of the run as the end must be under those units you can see in the kitchen. Will is still be ok to hit it?

When I fitted cheap laminate I picked up a double cranked bit of steel that went down at one end and up at the other. Something like that would allow you to get to the end, hook over the end and have room to whack it - vacuum the gap before hand to clean out any crap

Or a ratchet strap might pull it in
