Puts the loftboard/jigsaw incident to shame.

That was an entertaining read, Mark

At least this is all happening *before* decorating.

A few suggestions.

- IIRC, from earlier photos, the roof tank was a galvanised steel one.
If you need to cut it up to remove it through the hatch, e.g. with an
angle grinder, do take great care and have water on hand in case of
sparks. Ideally use a different way to remove the tank.

- While the system is apart like this, find the water supplier stop
tap, turn it off and replace the inside stop tap.

- Get rid of any gate valves - they always sieze IME. Replace with
lever ball valves - these are also full bore but much better made and
not subject to the same problem.
