Which advice to follow? I guess BRK are more likely to be overspecifying to
avoid liability (that's posh for covering their arses) whereas the Building
Regs are more down to earth.

The (Approved Documents to the) Building Regulations are (one way of
achieving) the absolute minimum standard acceptable for health, safety
and welfare. If a manufacturer recommends a higher standard, and
whether you choose to follow that advice, that's down to them (and
very commendable it is, too), and to you.
