If I follow the guides for cable sizes with regards floor area and
cable length and follow installation as per regulations I cant see
where I can go wrong.

Then you have a very high opinion of your skills. The question about
two-way switching indicates that they might not be as high as you
think.

Those of us who have done such wiring for a few decades know all
sorts of ways we can go wrong. However, inspection and testing
usually spots where we have gone wrong before there is a bang or
fire.

I would like to complete it myself as I enjoy the "DIY" thing, the
plumbing will be fine as well as the extension of the heating system.

I suspect that most of those on this group would like to help, in a
small way, you get this satisfaction. However, this sort of
electricity is not to be trifled with. While it is not as bad as say
11,000V it still has bite. Think of a large power station and then
ponder on the fact that your meter tails are connected to that large
power station. If something goes wrong at your consumer unit then it
is likely that many thousands of amps will flow, hopefully not for
long but still for long enough for things to get somewhat warm.
