Tried it, just killed the broadband to the whole network, not just the computer.

It seems to be working quite well now (ignoring the WiFi issue).

Powered USB 3.0 hub is running
USB to HDMI adapter
Ethernet adapter
Sound adapter
Keyboard/mouse

Not yet tried two USB-HDMI adapters again.

For less than £20 I've managed to put together (with a lots of wires hidden away) something like the £100+ docks.

I think the powered hub is what has got rid of the disconnects. I would have expected the laptop USB 3.0 ports to be up to the job but I guess not. But having the hub means only one cable to connect for 4 devices so it's what I wanted anyway.

Was the laptop was doing power-saving stuffs or do you keep it plugged in?

I turned off the power saving stuff as Graphitone suggested, possibly improved things. Laptop is always plugged in whilst using the adapter.
