First winter job will be full wheel refurb and possibly a colour change.
Going to see a company tomorrow regarding the dreaded wheel refurb/wheel nut issue. Hopefully he'll have a good idea.

Any recommendations on what Axle Stands, trolley jack to use please?

Got my axle stands from Aldi for about £10 and can't fault them. Low profile jack from Machine Mark on special but if you drive the car onto planks of wood before starting most will work.

That's what I have to do. I use a few bits of lamented flooring I had left over, stuff them under the wheels and away you go.

I'd feel sorry for your flooring too, It must be very sad to be cast aside and then driven over hehe
