Is this a DIY problem or a state-of-mind problem? Frankly it doesn't look too bad to me - sure, you could paint the walls, but that doesn't explain "unhappy returning there each day". What else is going on in her life? How tall is your tower? You really don't want to fall from the roof or...

I guess that's what you need to fix.

"Homemade weedkiller"????? That sounds like something from a Health & Safety Executive press release. Is this some stupid YouTube thing, or AI fantasy? Let me guess - it's just vinegar and baking soda, right?

Do take note of Hugh's comment about the pipes now being full of corrosive chemicals when you do that.

No; you don't know the fixings that he means. Search for "door sleeve nut and bolt".

Use your wet&dry vac to directly suck from the shower and basin wastes.

Here's a table from https://www.ecomerchant.co.uk/news/a-brief-history-of-building-regulation-u-values-with-examples/ : I find it hard to believe that there is no insulation in your walls. An uninsulated cavity wall will have a U-value worse than 0.6.

If it is actually warm yet feels cold to you, you need to understand why. Could it be draughts? Or something to do with humidity? Or maybe you have e.g. tiles on the floor, rather than carpet, that feel colder underfoot? Maybe the thermostat is too near a radiator so it's not measuring the real...

Is there heating? If so, what is the thermostat set to? Does it reach that temperature?

Who thinks that product is legal to install in the UK?

You can work out the volume of water in the pipe and divide by the flow rate. I presume you're planning on recirculation because you're previously been unhappy with slow hot water, right? You mention 40-60 seconds. The volume of water in 16m of 15mm pipe is 16 x π x (0.0136/2)² = 2.3 litres...

Right, if I were looking for Boiler Repairs in Stoke-On-Trent, then I'd AVOID "Bright Burn Solutions". They must be the absolute worst possible choice - I'd give them zero stars if I could!

Have you tried to calculate how long it would take hot water to reach those outlets without the circulation? What about with smaller-diameter pipes? How much delay can you put up with? Can you wait longer for hot water at the bath tap than at the basin tap? You certainly don't need 26mm for...

This company claims to "stock thousands of Ceiling Tiles from all the major manufacturers" so you should be able to find some that match the existing: https://www.replacementceilingtilesuk.co.uk/category/suspended-ceiling-tiles/ (No personal experience, this is not a recommendation.) There...

Yes, mine is very similar and was easy to fit myself. Much simpler than fitting a shower. That does depend on there being enough space in the right place though.

Well, in what sense do you "rely on" the back box being earthed? I mean, what will happen if the back box loses its earth? It is (normally?) somewhat inaccessible, i.e. you can't (normally?) touch it, unlike e.g. the metal chassis of an appliance. And if you can poke your finger into a gap you...

Here's some of the under-floor plumbing that that radiator is connected to: The PIR is 75mm thick, except where I've made channels for pipes by reducing it to 20 or 30mm. The joints will get foamed eventually. Unfortunately that's not quite enough depth for the crossings, where I'll need to...

Connecting the earth wires to the back box and relying on the screws to earth the socket is not allowed. Connecting the earth wires to the socket and relying on the screws to earth the back box is allowed. Connecting the earth wires to the socket and adding a wire to the back box earth...

Yes, I believe that is what is supposed to happen.

You can get emulsion for walls and water-based satin for wood mixed to the same colour, from most of the brands.
