Hi all im in need of bricking up a outside door opening and coverting it to a window in a old 1940s house and my question is that the outside door step is level with the internal floor level. The outside ground level is about 5inchs below this and the door step a large sort of concrete lintel. See pic
Do i just brick both inner and outer straight onto this step with dpc or do i need to cut down this step to create a cavity in the floor to prevent water/ damp running to inner side.
Thanks in advance.
