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.

Radiator and window ledge fitted: The window ledge is half of a table top that I found dumped in the street. I'll sand off the current finish and re-do it in ... whatever finish I eventually decide on. Wanting to fit the radiator was the reason for the debate about the white wood finish...

It is a meteorite???

None of it matters, all that's suggested is that you replace the current FCU with an unswitched single socket. (It's a bit odd that it's currently on an unswitched FCU though, hmm. Taking the fuse out only disconnects the live.) Why do you think that? How exactly would it be earthed? Do you...

Check what the Celotex documentation for your product says. Checking one random PIR product's docs, I read "Immediately after installation the insulation boards must be protected against weather conditions and sunlight."

Like he literally wrote in a note on the diagram!

Clearly not the same as the diagram in post 11..... Look at the blue wires. (Edit: look at ALL the wires.)

You've wired it wrongly. Were you trying to follow Sunray's diagram in post 11 above, or some other scheme? Where did the pop and spark come from? (Was there really a spark?)

I've been trying to work out what you typed that got auto-corrected to "bison", but my imagination has failed me. Photos might help. Obvious but unhelpful answer is "filler".

As above, yes you can fill it. Consider using a fine-surface filler. You need a suitable tool to spread it. Remove any other loose old paint first. Did you stir the paint? It seems amazingly transparent even for a cheap paint. I've found some of the cheap Screwfix paints (e.g. Fortress)...

Thanks for the suggestion.

Last time I had to dismantle something like this, one of the labels felt like it might have a screw underneath so I peeled it off - and found only a blob from the injection moulding. I spent ages trying to open it. Eventually I could peer inside (by bending the plastic not quite to breaking...

I have a mains circular saw. I currently have only coarse blades. I am looking to get a fine-cut blade for it. Some of the Screwfix listings describe the blades as "made for cordless handheld saws". I presume this means that they are relatively thin. Does anyone know if a "made for cordless"...
