It is possible to have smart bulbs fade out gradually rather than switching off instantly if this is a problem.

Neither would I but there is no mention of fitting an isolator anywhere in the OP's list of jobs. It looks like this might be one of those jobs that keeps on growing.

Gravel tends to contain broken up bits of stone with sharp edges. Pebbles are smooth.

If it has come off before it should come off again. These threads get seized up with lime scale if they are not removed every few months. There is evidence of limescale on the end of the spout. Can you rig something up to soak the end of the tap in limescale remover overnight and then try again?

I'm seeing one cable and a water pipe?

Without seeing the job, just from your description, I would have estimated one full day. Its unlikely that the job could be completed in half a day to allow the other half of the day to be paid for by another job. Its certainly more than a "Pop in for an hour on the way past" job. Edit to add...

You can use a jigsaw if the line is very wiggly or a hand saw if the line is fairly straight.

When its fixed in a vertical position touching the wall in one place I would expect it to be overlapping the frame by the same amount all the way up the frame (looking at the back of the architrave). You need to remove this amount plus 6mm if you are having the edge of the architrave 6mm from...

You don't have a neutral wire at that switch position. Your smart switch requires a Neutral connection so it can't be fitted there.

Start again and scribe it to the wall. Temporarily fix the architrave to the frame in a vertical position which just touches the wall in one place. Measure the amount that you need to remove to get the edge of the architrave to sit in the correct position relative to the edge of the frame. Mark...

This. Yuk. :(

I don't know how much it can resist forced entry with a few screws fixed into a uPVC window frame. It's also too bulky for my taste.

They possibly don't go wrong more but everything is contained within the boiler so you need a Gas Safe engineer to change the circulating pump for example, which can easily be changed DIY on a conventional system. The boiler fires up every time someone operates a hot tap so more switching...

This is likely to be one of your problems. 15mm isn't big enough to feed 10 rads.

Yes. The system will have been professionally installed, is it regularly serviced? Normally batteries get checked/changed on a service visit. Speak to the people who are servicing it.

No idea, I didn't get stopped.

Have seen police outside our local recycling centre examining cars with (very obviously) overloaded trailers.

Do you have a question?

In the same sense that the blue and brown wires within the light fitting are double insulated. Printing a double box on a label is cheaper than providing an earth connection.

Assuming these are ceramic and not porcelain tiles: Fix the full tiles, then use a piece of card to make a template for where the soil pipe and inlet pipe fall. The inlet pipe is going to need a hole cutting with a diamond tile hole cutter and then the tile will need to be snapped into two...
