Hi,
We are just about to purchase a property and amongst a few other things, we were advised to lower the ground floor around the side of the property as it has concrete slabs forming part of the driveway. These concrete slabs reduce the distance from the ground to the DPC. Any advice as to what we can do ourselves, or is it a job for a professional?
For your reference, it is a 2 bed semi-detached property and the lady living in it has had no problems since she has been living there. (12 years) The concrete slabs have likely been there for a very long time, perhaps before the lady moved in but we are not sure. The survey came back negative for any ground level damp problems.
Any advice is massively appreciated. Thanks!
