After I lifted the carpet I couls see all the old floorboards with the cuts where the central heating was installed. The people who had installed the central heating had written the locations of cables and water / gas pipes in pencil on the boards. I went over the old marks with chalk and took photo's. I was able to lift a couple of part boards and double check. I propose to go along the line of original nails with a Nail Punch and add a floorboard screw adjacent to it in the line of the joists.

Yes, that's the way to do it
Answered the door to some years ago, I'd to put the slasher(going to clear someone's back garden) to one side where it couldn't fall as I opened the door. Got some odd looks, but they didn't say anything, just turned and walked away.
Wouldn't do as much damage as a chain saw but it obviously did the job!
