Hi guys.
I am looking into filling the livingroom suspended floor in. I am not sure if i can do this though as i know some floors are suspended for water evap reasons. So i am not sure how i find this out?
I dug out my kitchen floor ready to insulate and screed, and lay the ufh.
While i was there i seen just how bad the floor joists in the livingroom were rotted. I knew they were rotted as we know we uncovered several issues. Bridged cavity walls and no cross ventilation. When we built the extension i had them run ducts in to fix this.
Now iv got closer to the job and we decided to go underfloor heating in the kitchen i am trying to work out if i should just carry it on?
Iv at least got to replace all the beams and flooring as it stands. Granted it will last now the issues are fixed
The void below the floor only seems to be around 400mm so really its perfect to build back up. My main concern is causing moisture to rise up the walls by filling it.
