By this I mean the 4 ball joints where the top of the exhaust pipes bolt onto the cylinders and also the other 4 ball joints where the bottom end of the down pipes fit into the silencer box. In the build manual there was no reference to doing this so I did not do so - just fitted them dry. I now notice that around these joints -mainly the lower ones held by the springs - there are signs of escaping exhaust gasses - light grey streaks. If I should be applying a product here I would be grateful for advice on what product to use and where (in the Uk) to get it!

I think you can use any recognized copper based exhaust system grease available at auto supply stores. Whether such lubricant also has a sealing effect over time is doubtful. If you have any seizure marks due to stuck joints, some exhaust gas may escape along these marks. On the cylinder joints, have you checked that the nuts are torque correctly? I had a problem with nuts coming loose, but have now safety wired the nuts.
