This is all you need. ;)

Who knows, pry some plaster/plasterboard off and you'll find out, only way to be sure. Despite what many think, old houses were often constructed out of crappy materials, low skilled workers, dubious building techniques and developers who were only interested in profits.

Does it really need fixing to the wall?

You do seem to have a bee in your bonnet nosey, if he and whoever else chooses to spend their 'free time' on a roof then there is no financial cost, which is presumably what you're getting at, unless you're just trolling now?

BC should definitely be involved, whilst it's ultimately the homeowners responsibility it is definitely notifiable. You can get pocket fire doors. https://www.labc.co.uk/news/garage-conversion-tips-from-our-building-control-experts

The Toolstation one isn't even stocked anymore and isn't a security one anyway. If you want to buy a single security bit online you will pay a premium either in the cost of the item or for delivery. Or god forbid you phone up a local tool shop who will probably be able to get one if they don't...

If the frame was reinforced it'd be OK, otherwise yes through bolts are probably the way to go, perhaps with white plastic bolt caps on the outside? Assuming there's actually enough space to get bolts through ....

Draw it by hand.

@LaurenFan5 what did you use for your tank? any pics?

Merbau

Because if you don't use a public sewer for any surface or rainwater then you can get money off your water bill.

Someone has screwed through the cap which is why you broke it, anyway you need to stick a screwdriver in the slot and the handle should come out. Then you'll be probably be asking how to lift it out because it's jammed.

Yes Wera is a pretty good make.
