As I also live in an upper Tyneside flat, and have the same problem as you, I thought I would share a local opinion.
You should have your own stop cock in your flat, but not having one will make no difference to your water flow rate or pressure.
When the downstairs flat use water at any point...
Is the above required before you are allowed onto a boiler / central heating plan with the flying penguins by any chance?
Looking after your world, yeah right.
Potential return trip to plumbers merchant for materials/parts, diesel and time waiting to be served?
OP has also mentioned washing machine fitting, two additional holes to be drilled for supply & waste pipe work? Packaging & transit bolts to be removed from new machine? Getting machine level...
I have seen what I believe the OP is after. On occasions when in a reclimation/salvage yard.
An original Victorian metal/cast iron roll top bath, with a fixed metal non moveable panel / canopy around one end of the bath with a shower head fitted inside.
I have to say, they have never looked...
Just bear in mind if the power flush uncovers any unknown/hidden problems like leaks etc, the cost of any repairs will be in addition to the guys outstanding balance. You cant deduct anything from the balance reference this possible additional work or expect him to cover the additional costs.
Probably a daft question but please can the Pro's give me some advise.
I'm replacing some missing slate tiles with reclaimed slates. I plan to drill holes in battens to accommodate hooks to prevent 'bounce' caused by hammering, loosening surrounding tiles. My question is, should hooks be secured...

I had similar shower problem recently. Limescale had partially blocked shower head and flexible hose, reducing water flow and causing boiler to shut down in HW mode.
Clean or preferably replace shower head with one with more jet holes in the head. You could also replace shower hose...
