I rather suspect that sometime in the not too distant future I'm going to have to get access to a pipe joint that has been rattled rather loose by a water hammer (now fixed). It was in the process of sorting the water hammer that I found that the pipe joint in question is relatively loose (i.e. I can swivel the pipe fairly easily) but it's not directly accessible.
I suspect at some point I'll just have to bit the bullet and cut an access hatch but being a wooden floor, I can't hide the hatch under the carpet. Any tips on how best to do this short of relaying a large section of flooring? I'm not sure whether it will be possible to get more matching flooring for any repairs.
