    I would go with option 2, but making sure it was accessible without tools. Unlikely, but in an emergency, needing to turn it off, you don't want to be looking for tools to get to it. Lifting a recessed mat, and an easy access board, would meet that need.

    venting pipe / ducting issue ?

    Sick of Mould behind radiator

    I suspect, that might make the problem worse, in that the air flow behind the foil would be reduced, and less warmth getting to the wall. Mainly, is not enough - you should never permit washing to be dried indoors, even in a different room to where the mould issue is appearing. Moist air...

    Plug in solar, what do you think?

    Yes, and I seem to remember a sack of coal, was delivered as an CWT sack. I remember the coalman's lorry, they would have a stack of coal on the back, scales, and a pile of empty sacks. They would pull up, fill and weigh a sackful, then tip down the coal hole. Some would have the coal, ready...

    Rain coming through bathroom ceiling

    I don't believe it should be like that, it's acting like a funnel, to wind blown rain.

    New boiler or not?

    I've heard it mentioned several times, that the plastic cased Magnaclean can be troublesome from a leakage point of view, there are other, perhaps more robust versions, from other manufacturers of mag filters. I have an Omega TF1, which I find is effective.
