Since moving my regular household debit payments, and day to day spending to LHV, to gain some interest on the account (4.2%), all has worked splendidly, until yesterday afternoon. Yesterday, I tried, and tried, to order a take-away for delivery, but the site repeatedly went to a long, very...

No, read it correctly, it said 'generally used when town gas was converted to natural gas. That suggested to me that they installed the steel for natural gas. I just made it clear that steel had been in use long before.

Nope, that would be pointless. You can buy cheap, plastic, drain covers, which can be trimmed to be a close fit around such things. That would at least make it tidier looking. and easily removed for inspection.

I would likewise have little confidence in his ability, having seen your photos. I am rather surprised you have been able to contact him, and have him agree to return at all.

What we are thinking, is that the pump pressure is so high, it is forcing the TRV to lift of it's seat slightly, making the noise. Dropping the pump speed, might be all it needs, to fix it.

Then you turn up in an old truck, with a cherry picker on the rear?

You changed the entire valve, not just the head? It could be a sympathetic vibration, just try changing the speed, and see if it makes a difference.
