I need to replace some sections of T&G floorboards on a first floor landing. They are 3 section of floorboard wide and cover 3 or 4 joists. Would it be ok to use 20 mm chipboard sections, cut to shape, to do the job? Reason is that there are electrical conduits and other pipes underneath and it would be useful to have these as "inspection sections" rather than having to rip new boards up again. Is chipboard strong enough?
