Yeah the floor there is back to front but how are the boards laid underneath probably going by your luck it’ll be the opposite direction so it’s hard to guess until you lift it and as you said if the floor comes up easy your onto a winner if it’s glued and breaks your fucked.

Any mileage in attacking it from the ceiling below? Kinda feels like cutting out a wedge of plaster then doing the work from underneath might actually be easier. Ceiling finish is shite too so a bit of money spent fixing that up wouldn't be quite so bad as a whole new floor just to move a radiator.
(it's possible the ceiling isn't original, it's been deprived of any texturing and decoration. But then there's a chance it might be lath and plaster in which case, no dice.)

Suspect it’s laid out the difficult way so quite a bit would have to come up to get a floorboard out.
That’s kind of ok because there’s a defect in the flooring about half way through the room that id like to fix.
Assume it’s tongue and groove and glued so separating the pieces is destructive?
