I have recently moved into a Victorian terraced house that has seen a number of 70's & 80's DIY improvements. One of them was to knock an arch through the wall that divides the living room and dining room and concrete the living room floor. The Dining room and hallway are suspended wooden floors. I have a twofold problem; the concrete floor is about 1" higher than the suspended floor and there is now no continuous airflow under the wooden floor.
Is it possible to remove the top 2" of the concrete floor so that it can be lowered with a new screed?
This would also incorporate digging out a channel and piping to the air brick to regain airflow. I would love to reinstate the suspended floor in the living room, but I'm concerned about the damage I may cause removing the concrete as the foundations are very shallow.
