schumaku Thanks for the reply, very detailed but complex without right hardware and I think down the line I could run into issues and spend hours fixing them.

You have all the hardware required. Your Sky router will do all IP/DHCP stuff for you. A L3 router with multi VLAN and multi-subnet does not make a difference ref. the existing two routers in AP mode - just the same proposal as above - unlikely these routers are supporting multi SSID/VLAN pairs. And have fun with double NAT, have fun with Multicast based IPTV, ...
And even more fun if you get Sky Internet Calls.
And much more fun with printer and other device discovery - being broadcast based, being Multicast and UPnP SSD discovery.
Last but not least, you need to configure the switch 802.1Q VLAN, configure the ports, ...
But hey, if you think adding yet another router makes it easier, up to you. Have fun with UI! And even more fun adding UniFi APs. Yes - I'm managing some bigger venues and helping on a major TV production on plain UniFi environment.
