    Tiling the side of my bath.

    May I point out that you really shouldnt be using mdf as a bath panel it is the wrong material for the job. A waterproof ply would be great. Now as for using magnets to hold up a tiled bath panel, I hope they are very strong magnets as the panel will end up being rather weighty. You can...

    moving hot water cylinder to the loft

    I agree with Fluffster, as I assume he is assuming that you will not have enough height in your loft to raise the tanks high enough to create pressure, if your loft is super tall and your tanks are high enough it will work fine, if not you will notice a considerable drop in pressure. Usually...
