[markus2025]

Hi guys so i have a question to ask i am doing a refurb of this old house im been fitting a dpc on the inner skin 1 brick up from the floor level im looking to tape dpm to the bit of dpc that sticks out the wall would this make a decent job or not ?

OP,
Is the floor solid or suspended?
Why not post a pic? Are there any damp signs at low level on the wall(s)?

OP,
Thanks for the pics but they are difficult to understand with the dark shadows & the tilted pics - perhaps you can correct the pics & bring some light in?

Short answer, yes.
You could also cut a wide strip of dpm and Leave it hanging out, until such time you put the main dpm in and tape them together.

Other option is to black jack the wall just below the dpc and stick the dpm against it.
