Building a patio above the DPC

[rossyl]

Hi,

We would like to build a patio that is the same height as the internal floor height of the room that the patio will be adjoined to.

The issue is that the DPC is below the internal floor height. The DPC is approximately 2 bricks below the finished floor height.

In between the patio and the end of the house is an ACO drain running pretty much the whole length of the house.

Is there any way that we can build the patio to the height of the internal floor height, without creating damp issues?

Thanks
R

I would say no! Normal practice is 150mm below dpc.

You could fit a 150mm tall lead flashing along the slab abutment prior to fitting the slabs.
Look ugly but would work.
