Looks complete junk to me, sorry.

I can do 6" gravel boards and 8ft posts fairly easily by myself if that helps.

and snow! I've never seen anything like it, I can't understand why it's built like that??

In any case 50mm pipe is going to be better than 40mm.

Agreed, I took the high spots off mine with a cup grinder and dust extraction. I wouldn't want to lose the frame in the wall, odd!

Plasterboard adhesive foam seems to have some insulation properties. I've done some reveals like this and they felt warm to the touch over the last winter. I'd try and keep away from the bead, at least use 9.5mm board and some thinner insulation.

Agreed, bed looks really poor. Ideally slabs should be slurry primed on the back too. Whats happening about the pointing?

Be very careful with acidic cleaners, you can cause damage to sandstone. I'd suggest leaving it to weather out as per manufactures guidance. e.g. "Although most commonly associated with concrete paving products, efflorescence can also affect natural stone when it is laid on a full mortar bed...
