With the height of the brickwork, I would just tooth in, but plan your bond because garage doors never to seem to work brick. As for the pillars, I assume you mean they're two half bricks, aka one brick thick. Pictures would have been good.

It always states 10% water.

50/50 (half SBR to half water). One coat should be fine, you could apply two, it's simply to change to high suction background into a low one. Tacky or not, doesn't matter for tiling.

Thistle Bond It and Multifinish plaster.

Nothing to worry about. Mortar strength should always be made weaker than the material it separates/bonds (mortar does both, it keeps bricks/blocks 10mm apart and bonds them together at the same time too). Any repointing, the mortar MUST be raked back 25mm/1 inch before applying new mortar.

To my knowledge, window film shouldn't be used on double glazing, I'm 99.99% sure it states that on the instructions. It can cause the glass to overheat and crack. So you are down to blinds for the windows. For a solid roof on a conservatory, you will need to check any planning implications, and...

There are two people in the world, designers and builders. So the builder would build it off plan. The person who designs it would look to see where to put expansion gaps, which brick bond to use, if they recommend rebar then that would designed because throwing rebar in without speccing it will...

Four options - 1 - Lift the flooring and replace the waste. 2 - Get a long drill bit, drill down through the centre of the waste through the ceiling below. Go downstairs, cut some plasterboard away where the hole is, replace the waste, patch ceiling and paint. 3 - Just replace the chrome...

The skirting could do with being one piece. He probably didn't take the part off when the flooring is because it could have danamged the floor covering trying to remove it. The wall is just a skim some easi fill on, sand it, and paint up.

Looks like a varnish, but guessing. So maybe a liquid varnish/paint remover, or possibly alcohol.

Doesn't matter which way round a tray is fitted, some quadrant trays have the waste in the centre on the curve, you you would walk over the waste on those. I would guess the joists stopped the tray from being fitted the other way round due to the location of the waste trap, but either way...

Pull paper off, sand walls. Fill holes, sand, and repeat as many times as you want. Brush on Zinsser Guardz, matt emulsion, and check if you need to do any more filling and sanding. If you, brush Guardz over the filler and apply two coats of soft sheen to the walls.

Fit the Irwin mortar rake to your angle grinder, and then fix a decent dust extractor to the mortar rake. Irwin Mortar Rake

Never had any problems with anything from Aldi, because I don't buy the junk that they sell, but it's good to read the reviews like yours about the crap they sell. Never had a problem with my £650 Merka sander and dust extractor that's designed for the job.

I say, get an electrician.

Just rake out to an inch deep and repoint. Cracking is due to the house and extension being on separate foundations. I never tooth brickwork in from two different slabs as the bricks could snap too. I would tell the buyer to go look at another house and to find a competent structural engineer in...

Good job, but can I say one thing about your skirting board. You don't mitre the corners but you coping saw it.

No idea, I'm a general builder that gets roped into plumbing. I would place the pump under the bath and give it a go. I did that and all I had to do every so often was switch the shower and/or hot tap off and then back on when it occasionally didn't work. A plumber told me well after that event...

After searching, it appears to be obsolete. Have you tried electrical factors? https://www.cef.co.uk/catalogue/categories/cctv-systems-and-accessories-cctv-cameras-dummy-cameras

The only thing I know is that pumps can only be used on storage tanks, don't pump/suck the hot water out of a boiler, and place the pump close to the tank. If you place it near the shower, they can sometimes air lock, so you have to waggle the shower/taps on and off to get it to work cos been...
