carefully cus the tounges with a circular saw set to the just less than the depth of the board
depends on what exactly you want
the usual is cut off centre on the joists using a circular saw to miss the nails or remove the screws and cut centraly cutting half a mm less than the thickness of the board to avoid damaging services
and where you cut across the boards or off the joist you secure a batton on the sides to sit the "trapdoor in "and securely screw down to prevent sqeeking

The easiest, if you need to make a lot of acces holes in chipboard flooring is the Trend Routabout for use with a router. It cuts a circular hole into which can be fitted plastic rings into which you put the inner circle.
The easiest way is just to rip them up with a crow-bar.andrew2022 said:

No I havent got shares in Trend
The Routabout is pretty good if you know *exactly* where you want the hole, and you can't see through the chipboard to determine that, of course. Get it wrong by a few inches and you're cream-crackered!
(I haven't got shares in Trend either, but they are a 10-minute drive from me, which can be handy when I urgently need something of theirs!)
