Can anyone please advise whether we use this type of plumbing fitting/stopcock here in the UK....

Looks like a 1/2 extension

And something like that yes

Thank you ....so a yes to the 1/2 extension (are they commonly used in that scenario - in a shower control 'standoff'?)

Was that also a yes to the stopcock with a 'slot end' ? (again if so, are they common?

Yes and no, they are but not normally on show normally if you use a back plate 1/2 extension and then the adapter to the shower valve

Yes two types most common is a straight online service valve but you can get them angled

I've used these before, turn the end by hand instead of screwdriver.
