Yes I agree , it's done all down my road. Do what I said is that ok then woody?

No they are just rendered ,

Just to note it's all pebble dash so have no worries about bricks on show.

Hi woody yes my new floor will be a concrete slab. After your previous post I was looking at using 2 blocks which would take me to 450 then cutting another one down to 190 in hight to get to my 650 internal floor level. So on the opening for my bi fold doors leave the cut down block and return...

Thanks woody, yeah think I've made a balls up already but to be fair at the side I wouldn't have been able to go much higher unless I made shuttering. So I'll have to cut blocks to suite. Just to confirm it's to make it level with the top of my floor boards inside? Thanks for your help

Thank you all for replys. Woody I have only just seen yours and after doing research I'm still not 100% sure I've done the right thing; I laid the foundations on Saturday at around 460 below existing dpc which I am now having a few issues figuring out how to build up to floor level! My main...

Hi, my BCO officer said that the air ducts can be run through either the hardcore, concrete or insulation in the slab. Personally I don't think id like to lose insulation. Does anyone have any advise on what part of the build up to run it through? Is it ok to make my existing air bricks to suite...

Thanks for this information. I take it I have to make my new Dpc level the same as existing? It's just that my dpc level is about 2 courses below finished floor level. When I do my floor slab does that membrane below the concrete have to tie in with my dpc or can I make it higher? Many thanks

Hi I am about to set out my level for my foundations. Would you advise me to put my finished hight 225mm below the level of my existing dpc or 450 ? Many thanks

Hi, I was planning on having one side of the steel being supported on on the existing exterior wall and the otherside to run over to the new cavity wall on the garage. I take it this will be ok to do? Do you know how much of the steel is required to be sitting on the wall, I have read up...

Thanks for reply, I'm happy to make it single skin wall. The porch is not very wide so don't want to make it any smaller. I was going to have a steel from the right side of garage to the lest of porch ?

Sorry I did not show existing- would make it allot clearer. (The current porch was an add on.)

Hi I have had planning permission accepted and have submitted a building notice which I will probably change to full plans once my foundations and oversite are complete. I am unsure whether my wall between my porch and garage can be either a stud wall or if I have to use brick(if so what's the...

what is the minimum thickness you can use for a solid concrete slab floor. I was hoping to get away with 75mm? Many thanks

Yes I did. Just really hoping not to dig that deep. Thanks

I posted a topic earlier after talking with a BCO on the phone. I explained I have a tree 2 meters away from my foundations (after setting out it is actually 4 meters away). He advised I would have to dig 2.1 meters deep which I found very daunting. He would not advise me on how much of the rear...

I am digging my foundations where there is a previous drain which was used for rain water that I assume must connect to my main drain. Will it be ok to remove what is in the way and cap it as I will have to use soakaways? I found it blocked but have dug down/ cleared it. What method is best to...

Thanks for that information Ronny. What do you mean by clay master?
