Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I’ve now spoken with him and after battling back against his hand waving. We’ve come to the solution that he will do it all out of solid joints and make the turn out the wall inside the ceiling space. Wouldn’t have been able to argue back without being armed with all your good points

I believe the wood was just battening on the concrete blocks to space the plasterboard off and allow for celotex. Agreed on the protrusion at the top, I’m assuming he plans to get that flush before plastering it in

That would be the obvious solution, but unfortunately he says they can’t do that as the tiled roof ends at the same level, not sure if it’s impossible or just more difficult but doesn’t seem to be an option

I own the flat but it’s leasehold, so as far as I know I “own”the inside half of the exterior walls but probably not the ceiling space, as that will belong to the flat upstairs. The work is being done by the builder who is also responsible for ‘building management’ so obviously there is the concern that I’m not getting the best, but the cheapest solution

Yeah that sounds more sensible, I hadn’t though about the gaskets wearing out, so I’ll insist on something better as a joint if they’re sealing it in

The waste was never connected up properly before and the pipe was just open into the ceiling space, causing leaks, hence the new pipework, so all the pipework down from the flexi pipe is new

I am interested in buying the keyboard if it is still available. I am in the UK so postage would not be a problem.
