    As already stated they are 2 different building joined together with a bit of mortar. They are going to move independently. Just fill the gap with some expansion join mastic.

    Clipping the end of a steel / Structural Issue

    Ask your SE, we can only guess on here. There must not be too much weight on it as it's sat on your wall plate and not on a pad stone. It's all really about deflection and I doubt that cut will make any difference.

    How to prepare plasterboard/insulated wall for radiator

    Bit of copper pipe pushed into the wall where your screws will be. You can get proprietary fixings like this to minimise cold bridging but they are of course a lot more expensive.

    Urgent please: Conservatory half way through, need help before they come back!

    Well you are having a conny fitted, it's not like it's going to get used for anything other than storing stuff. But I agree with all your points I would have thought they would just fill it all with mastic unless you stand over them and get it fixed. On a side note, what camera/phone you got...

    Stud wall and trusses

    Joists to sit on a wall plate

    I am having difficulty understanding what you are doing. I think you've done this: So you've dug out a concrete floor and are going to replace it with a timber suspended floor? I can't really understand why you're done this but ok. You're going to butt up this new floor with a existing concrete...
