Thanks for the input everyone, this evening I took the time to repot the plant and I'll show a few pictures to give you an idea what the plant looks like and what I did.
This is how the plant was prior to repotting, a small new growth emerging but very slow as far as I'm concerned. There was also no new root development to be seen through the clear pot.
The following shot shows the bare root plant. Roots still look as good as they did when I repotted it earlier this year.
This is the "mergel" substance I referred to earlier, it's quite soft and it easily crumbles into smaller pieces. Rubbing it with your hand will make fine sand like particles come loose.
This is the potting mix that I made for the plant, primarily bark with "mergel", perlite and coal. I decided to add no spagnum.
And this is the plant after repotting, in a day or two ( it's quite humid here atm ) I'll water it and move it to a brighter part of the house.
I'll keep you updated on how this change works out for the plant.
