I was worried about Mr Pompei’s beak, it appeared overly hooked/long so I nipped it back a bit. Has anyone ever had to trim back a beak?
Yes, Hazel had a split in her beak and part of one half broke off. @Shadrach was very helpful with tips on gluing the split and then very slowly filing (over weeks) to smooth the end out. The worry was the split, that it might not stop splitting, not the end so much. He also linked to an article on the very sensitive nerve endings in beaks, this is good information and will help you with Mr. Pompei. He may take care of it with wiping his beak on stone as @RoyalChick notes. If he can successfully eat I would do nothing unless it is growing in badly.
Maybe where he was he didn't have access to something to file it down on. My lot are always wiping their beaks on the concrete footings of the Chicken Palace and I assume that wears them down. Like a nail file.
 
It's out. I now need to find another wormer and coop cleaner I wish we had the same here as you

I keep getting bitten when I go out the back I'm at my wits end keeping up with it all
I've just seen This anyone have any thoughts?

Goodness knows how I'd cope with more right now
From what I can see there is no active insecticide in this. It is lemon eucalyptus oil. That may have a repellent effect which is likely what you are looking for. I have no idea of the effectiveness of lemon eucalyptus oil in repelling mites.
