Any particular photos? If it's louder upstairs if Start with the loft maybe old tank or plumbing or some part of the roof etc ??

Use resin and threaded rod to install a horizontal ledger or plate running in same direction as beam, and the. Nail your brackets to that makes sense to me - rather than individually trying to fix brackets to the concrete

why would you point bricks with sealant? Mortar is a structural component of how a brick works

Its hard to tell but it does look like that horizontal beam does support the chimneh somewhat

Is that a gable wall or party wall? looks like the perlin is supported by the chimney and if the chimney is not supported adequately that could be an issue? maybe pull away some of the insulation and get a closer look towards the bottom of whats left of the chimeny in the loft may see something...

Why not keep scaffolding up? Cost will pay for itself doing render and cladding much more efficiently and safely in the new year

I'd go for a civils and groundworks contractor for the dig, drainage and retaining wall structure, and a general builder or garden room specialist etc for the actual build of the garden room. I'm sure you can get someone to do it all but they would probably sub out anyway or cut corners with...

But what is the problem in reality? Assuming they do a good job of T-ing into the current shared downpipe and gulley, what does a bit of porch roof run-off matter to you? Is it worth falling out with your neighbour over? Wont you just snooker yourself if you want to build your own porch in the...

I dont think it matters if vapour is trapped between plasterboard and insulation board as it is the warm side so should not condensate?

I did this very similar to my 1930s curved bay window recently but 75mm PIR as the studs were 100mm. Others may know more but as I had new breathable membrane on the roof, the vapour is as not as much as an issue, where as you may trap vapour between your older felt and the PIR is your concern...

Why not do it the way of many examples ? Otherwise you will get a horrible bit of diminishing roof on your main roof may look like below

Yes thats what I did with my extension. The layboard had to be quite wide to catch the cuts of the jack rafters

Something also is that the layboard option also limits useable space in your loft as the commons prevent you getting any thing past to get access into the extension are beyond etc

You can cut alot deeper than 300mm with a diamond blade with the right piece of equipment, diamond track saw, diamond plunge saw, diamond floor saw, wire saw etc

wall behind the bed? Make sure you dont put a UV light on those
