We have decided to keep the original boards in the hallway and paint them. To stop drafts and keep as much warmth in possible and because of lack of access have opted to insulate them with a double foil bubble insulation. I managed to lever the boards up without much damage and hoovered out the space, re-lagged the heating pipes, I then stapled the foil with roughly a 50mm gap below the boards to provide a bit of air movement. Using the foil has meant that I have not needed to take up all the boards and have been able to thread it under and staple it neatly right across the width . I will post images when complete and also see how it feels with winter coming !
