Sorry to drag up an old thread. Having found a SE to do some calcs for me they seem to be very different to the 2 'rough' guesses on here. He is quoting 46 kN/m and that the panel to the left of new door will be to weak for the wind and I will need a steel prop on the back of the wall and...

Brill, thanks to all replies. Informative and helpful as always on this site *thumbs up*

I thought outdoor lights should be on separate feed? as good practice? I have the opportunity to put a separate feed in now as everything is ripped out, so thought it would be a good idea? If there is no real need then I will save on the cable and just - as you say - take it from the last...

Will come from CU on its on MCB - on the non RCB side ?

Hi Tim, thanks for your info. All joist run from the back of the house to the middle. If the joist tails will support bricks above will I just need to insert strong boys to hold up the outer skin? the doors going on the right-hand side (where the shed door is) will be wooden tri-fold from...

Hi, yes pretty much, Ive tried to edit PICTURE (Badly) also the walls that are on the left (currently pantry and the outside shed bit)
