This is what I have gleaned for what it is worth. New builds should have good noise insulation between dwellings. Floors can either be constructed using tried-and-trusted 'robust detail' designs or have noise insulation measured. It may be that some penny-pinching has left your noise insulation...

If there are no electrics, I'd be tempted to stuff it with loft insulation to the full depth (not space blanket stuff). The open mineral wool will allow bathroom splashes and leaks to drain. Moisture resistant plasterboard might be less damaged by occasional leaks. The garage ceiling under...

At least be aware of modern W-plan systems. Separate CH and DHW flow temperatures can give you savings on heating bills and faster recovery on DHW.

Thanks. I thought that would have to go something like 700mm below the toilet inlet. That would put it in the downstairs' kitchen.

Sounds like he is doing his job. :) I read only today that with modern loft insulation, you have to rate cables above the insulation for 50°C in the loft rather than 30°C. It's a minefield if you don't know what you are doing! I suppose the same also applies to transformers.
