I've never done any brake work before, but a quote of over £2k was a powerful incentive, so I'm going slowly and taking my time. Your advice is very helpful. I'll post how I get on later...waiting for some bits and bobs now..
Hoping to avoid new rigid brake pipework, but the flexi's have to be changed
so fingers crossed!
If the rigid brakeline has to be cut, how does one best stop all the fluid draining out of that line?

You can stop all the fluid drawing by wedging the brake pedal half way down. Use something between the seat and the brake pedal.
If you need to cut the metal brake pipe, you will need a decent brake flare tool - Sykes pikavant flaremaster is an excellent one. Also use Kunifer brake pipe, not copper. kunifer/cunifer is a cooper alloy-there’s just about no difference in price, but it is stringer and doesn’t work harden like copper.
