Can you tell me exaclty how to lay flooring in the cellar and make it damp proof. Including deeps and types of ways I can do this. Currently the floor is bricks fixed in with dirt and sand I think. They can easily be removed. It's a Victorian period house if that makes any difference.

The bricks on the cellar floor were layed on what looks like a bit of hard core and sand. And underneath that there is a concrete floor but can see no evidence of a dpm. Our plan is to lay a couple of inches of sand over the the hard core and then cover with a dpm. And then cover with a few inches of concrete. There are some engineering bricks just above floor level. I assume that must be the dpc which we intend to take the dmp to.
