Screws will be perfectly adequate. For sure buy a nail gun if you think you'll get much use out of it long term but screws, nails, it will make no difference to what you end up with.

Overthinking this a bit, a few screws angle skewed into the wall plate will be fine, remember it will all be tied together when you fix the deck to the joists and the presumably you're gonna fix a member to the end of the joists behind the fascia.

No I assumed your point was from a cynical perspective but in reality we do need such beaurocracy, their effectiveness and handling is another subject.

It absolutely would be necessary, anything involving a development of this kind would require such a report. For obvious reasons.

An extensive ecology report will have been necessary to accompany the planning application, find it and have a read.

No. The indemnity only covers the legal fees associated that you might amass during legal proceedings. It absolutely does not pay for any remedial costs, no doubt your solicitor has failed to mention that. In anycase it's irrelevant, you're beyond any time limits. Have a google as to how often...

Wipe them down with a bit of oil. Not enough that they're soaked just enough to create a very thin barrier.

Looks like a practical solution to me.

That looks to me like three standoff bolts have been connected together to make the door stop taller. So I would expect them to undo. How much have you tried turning them? Are you using the correctly sized spanner?

Any damp contractor determining the conditions of a structure using a damp meter should not be trusted.

Flood Control International are based in Tavistock, though as a world wide company this may be too small fry for them https://floodcontrolinternational.com/contact/ Or maybe https://premierwatersolutions.co.uk/contact/

Don't you just kind of manipulate it in, the panels have a bit of flex don't they?

Presumably you have the type of internal corner trims where each panel needs to slot into a groove?
