Also forgot to mention rear is 135, so proper MTB wheels will mostly be 142 these days, and hence not work?
Nope. 135 will exist alongside boost and other propriety standards like AI for a while yet.
The big issue - which I should have flagged up above - is finding factory MTB hubs that take road 11 speed cassettes.

as I amgain 36t would need a much longer chain.
36t cassette or chainring?
It won't need a long chain, you got a medium cages derailleur, so putting a 11-32 will be fine.
What may not be fine is the wear on the chain from the old 11/28 running on the 11/32 cassette, keep a chain wear tool handy to ensure it doesn't go past 0.5% on the Park Tool CC-3.2 chain wear tools.

Thanks all.... good advice on keeping hub identical. The Ines on there at the moment are only Bitex anyway, so not exactly gonna break the bank with another set. Also forgot to mention rear is 135, so proper MTB wheels will mostly be 142 these days, and hence not work? It's looking like original idea of handbuilt is the way to go.
Rear mech is a medium cage. I've had no issues with 50/34 and a 11-28 cassette so far, so am hesitant to get a big cassette for now as it will make changing wheels more of a ball ache, as I amgain 36t would need a much longer chain.
Also got the cables at the front end tidied up, as they were a bit too long and bugging me. The cabling is about as clean as it could be now I think.
