I can't see why a hull only survey would involve commenting on the roof unless the surveyor was either going beyond their remit or especially good spirited. If they aren't contracted to look at it it's not their job. Would they go and have a peek in the engine bay, just in case.

Not sure if the length of boat makes a difference. I've got a 30ft boat on wide locks on the Ledds Liverpool. Going down is ok. Going up at first you are held to the side and can then be swung across the lock. I hadn't tied up before but will probably in future.

There's plenty of 19mm pipe on Amazon. You can buy in 1m lengths.
