Morning all,
I'm considering a garage conversion, but there's only about 3-4 inches between the concrete garage floor and the adjoining house and i'd like them to be at the same level post-conversion.
What are my options? Am I right in thinking that a wooden floor is out of the question because there'll be no room for ventilation? If I get a screed laid to this depth, then there'll be no room for insulation (whether required by building control or not, I'd like to include this).
So am I going to have to dig up the existing concrete floor? It will probably be tiled - does this make a difference? Also, where should the damp proof membrane go?
Cheers,
Nick
