Just lining up to slurry, DPM and then insulate and finish a suspended beam and block floor (built by others).
Is it best to fill the small narrow gap running the length of the outer beams edges and the inside wall (Cavity wall thermalites) with either mortar or insulation etc. or just leave and let the floor DPM block it off? Was about to fill with mortar to tighten everything up but then wondered about bridging in some way seeing as it's below DPC.
Then where the ends of the beams meet near to the end wall in to an external doorway, the beam ends are sat over the inner leaf and builder looks to have put DPM running up the inside of the outer leaf single course block that is below the door. End of that DPM is loose and I'm assuming that can be tucked under the door, where the DPC also is and then when I run the DPM over the floor it also meets the DPM tail and also gets tucked under the door / DPC?
Elsewhere round the walls they've left DPM tails coming out the walls for the Floor DPM to tuck up under but with the doorway being different just want to make sure I get it right.
