What makes it a tougher job in new houses?

(I though they used sheet material, which I've generally found simpler
to lift than traditional floorboards.)

Apart, that is, from having to move more furniture and carpet - and then
finding that the chipboard sheet is held down by skirting board on 3
sides!


What you need is the Trend Routabout. Absolutely ideal for making inspection
hatches in chipboard floors. You can find more info here
http://www.trendmachinery.co.uk/routabout/. The basic kit is about £40,
and while additional rings aren't that cheap (approx £2.50 each) you
shouldn't need that many.
