Definitely cheaper. But the conundrum I have is that new flooring and a kitchen is being installed. Should the suspended floor start to fail, I'd have to rip up the flooring and kitchen to get back to it. When my house is currently empty. So many choices and dilemmas!

Sorry it's 67cm. Not much of a difference. Yes, Fill it, compact it, then sand, then Damp proof followed by insulation with concrete poured over the top. All the previous flooring has been ripped up n the house and floorboards exposed. The house is currently empty (living with parents in...

Interesting. Is it due to the cost? As surely concrete floor is much more future proof than suspended flooring? I'm considering both options, ideally I need to decide tonight as the extension is going be delayed. It's been delayed quite significantly due to the weather.

I've just had a quote through £4k all in to do the whole downstairs. Whilst it is a lot of money, it's money we're in a fortunate position to have saved. The idea of having the solid floor installed and having it insulated is very appealing. It does get cold in the winter. I'm having...

Yes, this will be checked also. The house is being knocked through today and RSJ installed. I'll get more floorboards up and see if there's any pipes leaking. I'll also look to get the water tested. Thank you

Yeah, I was thinking of doing this. Issue is work has also started on my garden. My rear garden is tiered so the only patch of grass I have left was would be lower than where the water sits? Would this be okay?

Hi all, First time post, looking for some advice please. I'm currently having a rear single extension built, today I lifted up some floorboards at the rear of my property, to my surprise there is approx 2 inches of standing water in the void, the void is approx 76cm deep from the floorboard...
