How to repair bulging laminate floor

[frediaz]

I have a conservatory with an interlocking laminate floor, measuring 3 x 3 metres. There is a bead around the floor plus 2 door thresholds.

The morons who installed the floor before did not leave room for expansion of the floor around the perimeter. Now the floor is bulging and lifting. Is there a way to repair this without having to remove the floor or all the beading around it?

The conservstory has been unheated for months so the floor mudt have absorbed a lot of moisture. I guess when it is fully heated it will shrink again but I need a solution now.

Thanks

Run a dehumidifier (industrial) overnight and see if there is any difference, if yes your on the right track. But now for the big question, how would it become damp in the first place? ...pinenot

The beading should lift easily, and you should be able to cut the edge away with an inexpensive Multi Tool. Ideally the floor needs a 10mm gap all round, the chances of the floor receeding in the summer after such expansion, or being fitted 'net' is zero, it WILL need trimming.
