Lowering cellar floor

Hi, in our new house the previous owners have converted the garage and extended the kitchen. Underneath these spaces they created two cellar rooms.

In order to fit my indoor cycling setup I would like to lower the floor a tiny bit. It's currently 184cm ceiling height, but when i am on the bike i would need 195 to not whack my head everytime i forget and sit fully upright.

In my (very non-DIY) mind, I am thinking taking out the floor tiles, dig down 10cms where the bike and trainer sits (only takes up 1m x 2m), put the tiles back and bob's your unlce.

I trust it's far more complex, but would appreciate any pointers. thanks

Bit more to it than that. Does it have a boarded ceiling? If so you might be able to trim a joist to get some headroom.
