Joys of a three story stone farmhouse, literally wifi from the BT hub does not go from one room to the next! Hence will try and get as much stuff cabled in as possible, whole house is being rewired, so might as well do it properly!
and log cabin in the garden is where I run my business from... Which involves VPN into multiple clients so consistent network is key for me.
Suspect I will need more switches in lots of places as well. Stupid things like Chromecasts don't work that well as the wifi doesn't work well enough!

What on Earth do you need all that for?
But yes :)
The only thing I'd add in addition to just more (more switches and access points) is one of these:
https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-cloud-key/
Which is a mini computer which will orchestrate your whole setup and includes a permanently free licence to the Ubiquiti Controller https://www.ubnt.com/enterprise/software/ for which the doc is here: https://dl.ubnt.com/guides/UniFi/UniFi_Controller_V3_UG.pdf
Most people who run this stuff never need a Controller... but it sounds like you would benefit from being able to use your laptop or phone to diagnose and view your whole network and control everything from your sofa.
