In the end I bought a cheap TP Link bridge which cost me £16. It was a bit of a nightmare to setup as the user interface is a bit vague. It is working perfectly now and download speeds are fine.
I also bought a brand new 19" widescreen TFT for the workbench which set me back £69.32 so the day wasn't too bad.
I tried lifting the carpet but it just won't budge, if the TP Link bridge becomes unreliable then I will have to just use a cable and if it doesn't work too well long term I will always always have use for an access point. It even with a device to allow power over ethernet which can be handy in some circumstances.
