Re-using parquet flooring

[ban-all-sheds]

I've got parquet flooring in my house (pine, I think), and I might want to have some lifted and used elsewhere to fill in some gaps. The previous owners took down a wall and a chimney breast downstairs, then carpeted. The carpet is going to come up, and I know that where the wall and CB were there will not be any flooring, so my idea is, if the rest of the floor is OK, to take up what's in the hall and use it to fill in the bare patches in the living/dining room.

It's a concrete sub-floor, parquet blocks held down with bitumen.

Is the idea feasible, or a complete non-starter?

As long as you remove as much bitumen from the blocks as possible you'll be all right (do take care when lifting blocks where they are now, if they have T&G's they could "dislodge" more surrounding ones).

Thanks.

The whole hallway is going to be taken up, so I'll only have to worry about lifting adjacent ones at the doorway to the living room, and the herringbone pattern doesn't carry on over the threshold.
