Hi
I have a fully glazed conservatory at present which was on the house when I bought it, never really liked it as its hard to make it into a 'room' having glazed panels to the floor, also as britain seems to be getting more windy its flexing sometimes is abit of a worry!
So ive been looking into knocking it down and rebuilding it with a 600mm dwarf wall, re using the existing slab then putting the new conservatory on top of the wall.
Last year I indian stoned around the patio area of the conservatory and noticed a small footing probably 200mm deep with 4course of brick bringing it up lever with the floor slab, making the conservatory flush with the finished floor, my question is would this footing be ok to build the brick pier off with it only taking the weight of the 600mm high wall??
And could I incorperate a DPC into it somehow without digging down to form a new footing etc??
hope it makes sense!
