Any solar involved?

What fitting do you propose using at the pointy end??

You're right! Stelrad's site shows exactly that on their CWS vertical range. TRV with remote sensor might well be the way to go.

Really? Flow and return onto two top tappings? What rads are these?

You can bury whatever colours of P/E pipe you like. Regulations aplenty if connected to and used for the conveyance of gas! The drawstring might suggest this is not necessarily the intention here.

1) Ribbed side to cistern. 2) Probably not, accompanying leaflet will clarirfy.

Educcashun? Wot about the Pax Romana? Although Tacitus ascribes to the Caledonian chieftan Calgacus, referring to the Romans, "Auferre, trucidare, rapere, falsis nominibus imperium, atque, ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant." sometimes translated in short as "they make a wasteland and...

Yeah, what have the Romans ever done for us?? TBF on the "plumber" I wouldn't expect a 30 year old to know how to wipe a joint any more than to repair a leaded window. At least he had the good sense to decline a job he wasn't confident of completing! Now, where's that shave hook I retired 30...

NO! Push a twist up half or a third of it's length and remove when sodden. Repeat until a dry bit stays dry. Don't leave anything in the pipe! Don't try using toilet paper which will disintegrate and not pull out! I'm not recommending this as standard practice, just a trick I have used when...

yes, that last drip of residual water.. Tricks I have used include using earth sleeving as a straw, and pushing twists of kitchen paper into the pipe.

How many cores does the second white wire have? Any less rhan five you need a wireless setup, or a new cable.

I think you'll find that the second white cable exiting the junction box goes to the main wiring centre.

Picture shows a cylinder thermostat.

What can I do to get my new gas cooker?? Demolish the conservatory , of course!

Your local GSR may have a roofer mate who he brings in on jobs like these.

Exactly this.

As @Burnerman , kitchen tap to downstairs basin cold tap?

You can use a tapmate washer and a brass backnut for that "no-one's ever going to wiggle this" approach but it's rarely needed. https://www.plumbers-mate-sales.co.uk/tapmate-basin-and-kitchen-tap-washer-12in---72000177-1211-p.asp

Microbore is not garbage. Used correctly it has its place. It does have a lower heat carrying capacity than a larger pipe and is more likely to block on a sludged system. +1
