Yeah i do have it level well "plumb" but what ever you call left to right lol

Hi guys can anyone give some advice on refitting a pvc door ? ive taken the old door out as i had to rebuild the brickwork on the reveal as it was all a mess ive now came to refit the took and after chipping off the render that was around it ive found the lintel above is running out ... do i...

Also ive just came to the kitchen area which was a build as a later add on on the house which also has had damp issues... I see this has dpc fitted but it is one brick up from the ffl so i would presume the brick below is getting damp and has been bridging on the cavity..

Ahh that helps alot thanks so i need to take my inner course down more as at the moment i have a pocket or should i just fill it in ? Then i lap the dpm like this ? Thanks

Do a block left and right side of the cavity below floor level ?

So the floor dpm goes through

Thanks for your help im trying to work out how you mean the floor this comes into is not going to be all broken up and there is no insulation under it

Here are some images of what i have that the tail of dpc there that ive been fitting along the brick work inner skin

What do i do over a door opening ?

You can see on here the dpc is at the ffl ive put min at the purple line yet my ffl is 2 bricks above will this matter

Hi guys so some members already might of seen posts from me on here of late im doing a refurb of this 100 year old house its had issues all over with rising damp for many years after opening up the cavitys i found they where totally blocked with black rubbish which i presume fell down there...

lol yeah its not in a river but below the outside road level and always had a history of rising damp as it was my late grans house so i kind of want to make sure i fully solve the issue

So the plan is get the sub layer to a rough level blind it out with sand Lay a sheet of dpm over the sand to meet the parts of the wall where the dpc stick out tape and mastic along the edges then as a double up lay another full sheet of dpm and this time instead of it been cut as a square...

The damp proof course is not at final floor level its one brick above the sub base level but the final floor level once the sand has been put in and damp proof membrane laid and infilled it will be 3 bricks above the damp proof course

Not sure if you can use black jack with dpm plastic ?

Just bought some visqueen zedex mastic looking to use this to make a seal aswell

I only have about 1 inch to tape to if i had time again i should of fitted a wider dpc maybe 18inch and then i would of had a good bit to tape to

You can see on the this image i have fitted the DPC 1 brick up from ground level i plan to install dpm sheet taped to the little bit that sticks out from the wall then blind it with sand then finish floor level will be 2 bricks above the dpm

Yeah ita annoying on here that images go on the side view for some reason
