Why plasterboard walls if they are to be tiled? ditto remove plaster to brickwork?
Tiling need to be done before radiator, sink and toilet go in with pipework above floor level before tiling floor.
If ceiling is bad board over existing plasterboard no point making a huge mess ripping it out.
No need to drop rad tails under the floor unless you are relocating the rad.

so you dont need plasterboard if tiling? i can tile directly on to brick?

i am not sure if i will tile the whole room or just around bathroom and basin. but as you said if i will tile the whole room i need to tile before putting the radiator.

can i tile over plaster?

some people say to tile the floor and then install toilet and basin above the tiles and some say to install toilet and basin and then tile around them. why choose one over the other?

ok so remove paint and plaster from seiling and then board over existing plasterboard. thats good advice.

i want to hide all radiator pipes.....quality of finish looks better.
