    Why not ask your "reliable service guy" for his opinion? FWIW mine is: there are over a million oil boilers out there in the UK, mostly in rural areas , you'll be fine on servicing for 10 or 20 years 50 years - who knows, but will it matter to you?

    Reinstalling shower – crumbly brick wall, minimal space for fixing backer boards – advice needed

    I've seen this done on "tanking" - working up from a porous wall to to a waterproof final cement-based coat. Also, its my experience that if you mess with plaster/render too early it all falls off again! But plastering is not my trade, so was a suggestion only.

    Radiator Brackets (Fitting centres)

    Don't think there's a problem. You don't need to hit your studs dead centre and anyway there's horizontal play on the bracket position on the radiator nubs. You don't have to use the pre-drilled holes on the bracket, either.
