    390kg on casters will absolutely be a challenge! Think of a few ring beams or similar.

    Gate mounting

    Does the OP mean they want to fit the posts to the front? That would be odd but it might explain the postcrete comment.

    Home hydrotherapy for dog - what wood to use ?

    Need some advice on my roof

    Forticrete Centurion Low Pitch Concrete, Crest G10, Crest H10, La Escandella Planum Interlocking Low Pitch Clay all go down to 10°, no doubt there are others. There are other non clay/concrete tiles that will go down lower.

    Beam and Block with timber frame Detail

    Why do you have a BCO coming round, surely the whole point of keeping it under the limits is to avoid BC approval?

    Beam and Block with timber frame Detail

    Your drawings are crap, assuming the external wall thickness is around 225mm given your external dimensions of 7.5 x 4.5m and the 4.5m door that gives you an internal area of about 28.85m2.

    Need a similar tile.

    What a peculiar looking tile, maybe try Yandex image search too, still very hit and miss. Maybe take some better photos.

    moving a manhole where my extension will go

    A better sketch might be helpful but stevie has pretty much nailed it subject to falls/levels and the gap between the house and boundary being enough.

    Beam and Block with timber frame Detail

    Beam and Block with timber frame Detail

    Your foundation walls needs to be wider than 140mm, so that you can sit the ends of the beams on the foundation walls, then you have to cut the outer skin of 140 blocks down to get the vents in behind. The contractor we used is a render specialist who, I'm not sure of the manufacture. If it...

    Beam and Block with timber frame Detail

    There's no cavity on the above details either, they are also just timber frame. The details show the telescopic vent in pink. They exit (in this case) through the insulated cladding. If you have no cladding there then they just exist through the blockwork or brick if your masonry below the...
