    What material to backfill post hole

    Whatever you use now it won't bond properly with the existing postcrete, should have all been poured at once. I daresay I'm not the only one to have a scramble to nip off to the nearest supplier to grab an extra bag before the stuff in the hole went off.

    Fitted FD30 firedoor and top hinge is wrong

    Probably but in reality it's unlikely to make much difference, they have tested the door with the hinge in that position ergo that is where it should be fitted. Do a good fill job and Mr BCO will be none the wiser surely.

    Garage wall insulation - thinnest I can get away with?

    Superquilts and the like are a misnomer, they typically require a 25mm air cavity each side to perform properly, thus negating any benefits, they are not super.

    Washing line on flat roof

    Ideally you would not walk on a felt roof other than for maintenance, it's not really durable enough, probably be OK with light usage but much more and it will reduce it's lifespan. Normally you would stick slabs or decking or similar down on top.

    Washing line on flat roof

    Seems like the neighbours are in for a treat. Anyway, I would look at something like this, I believe you can get various sleeves/adapters that will allow you to fit the washing line post snugly. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Schneider-Plate-Stand-for-Slabs/dp/B004EWGOMI?th=1 Find some paving slabs...

    are all fensa windows date stamped?

    The window suppliers I've known chuck out any old/miss -measured stock pretty quick, they don't leave it lying about on the off chance they'll be able to reuse it.
