Hi, I am new to this forum and have just bought a bungalow (with a loft conversion) in Edinburgh. It is built on volcanic (andesite) rock, and the floor is (I think "floating") on a sub-floor.
There is access to the sub floor under the stairs, but that access is only to one room. I want to be able to crawl throughout the sub-floor and install under-floor wiring for a stereo - I also want an electrician to do some additional wiring for an extension project.
I notice there are holes in the walls of the sub-floor room - is it permissible to enlarge those holes (removing a few more bricks) in order to gain access to the remainder of the house?
Sub floor is about 3 foot high, and the floor looks like a glassy substance containing rock chips.
Many thanks.
John
