    All the Geneva / Suffolk / Mexicano doors are not the same - quickest way to check is look at the weight. The TP and Wickes ones are mix and match, the Howdens ones are not as clean on the grooves as the others and the ones made by XL Joinery weigh about 10kg more than the others as they are semi-solid core.

    There are better and cheaper options ..! I would go Pert/PEX and the Ivar manifold as per the recommendation from @Nickfromwales or a full set from Wunda Trade

    Not been without its challenges ..! Proper team effort and there is a growing pile of brass and scrap copper that is just surplus to requirements ..! And an abject lesson to anyone who has a thermal store - order one with a built in coil rather than a PHE and save yourself half a ton of scrap ..!

    4 milk crates and some battens and job done. You don’t need stilts ... My plasterer uses one of the aqua crates as a hop up - works really well and he just kicks it about where he needs it.

    Pipe is pipe - ask him what manifolds he is planning to use as thats the killer question. Most of the newer pipe lays flat anyway -JG is a bit pricey but the off cuts can be used for plumbing afterwards unlike the 16mm standard PEX stuff that needs converters.

    I remember seeing them before and when I heard the price I thought it included the plot... need to work on the economics and could seriously make money !

    All depends on the roof covering too - this is a decent video from one of the in- and on- roof suppliers.

    Ironmongery Direct - the basic ones are pretty good, they do a kit now and then with the latch and hinges free with the handles and not had a problem. Howdens also do decent ones one but silly money unless you have an account.

    According to my mate it’s tanking adhesive - most German bathrooms are done with a tanking system.

    Get the steel and use as a scraper to take the green edge off and it will be fine.
