I'm in the process of digging out and prepping a new base for a patio as the old one had been laid too close to the DPC.
Whilst digging down I've come across a large concrete base which appears to be connected to my extension - see pics
The extension is around 20 - 25 years old and has a concrete floor. The area of concrete stretches to about two feet away from the building line and appears to be around three inches deep.
Is it advisable to avoid taking the concrete from outside up? Ideally I wanted to take it out and dig down further to give myself a good base for paving.
