    Leaking Isolation Valves

    If you can afford the Pegler one then use that. In a years time you will have forgotten about the £5 extra cost but will have a valve which works reliably. Edit: The last cheap one I had at home dripped water into the electrics of a fridge and I had to buy a new valve and a new fridge. :(

    'Safe Zone' created by 'current using equipment' ??

    Perhaps we could start with the common case of a wall mounted extractor fan. Does the extractor fan create safe zones above, below and to both sides which are the same width and height as the extractor fan?

    Doorway edge protector, suggestions please?

    If you search the internet for "Wall corner guards" there are lots of options in plastic, metal or rubber. Something there might suit your taste.

    roof felt/batterns/tiles replaced, but BC not notified

    The last house I sold had new tiles and felt to replace old pan tiles without any felt. No BC involvement. No queries relating to the roof during the sale.

    How much haunching can I cut away?

    Yes. That concrete is the only thing preventing the pavers from moving sideways when a car runs over them. Leave the concrete there and cut the grids.
