I am doing a full house renovation ( rewire / replumb / skim / decorate ).
I am attempting to avoid the expense of knocking the whole kitchen area down, putting footings in and then building onto the exact same footprint.
At the moment the kitchen area is a single skin brick extension ( original build ) with two exposed walls.
I am pretty sure the slab in the kitchen will not have a DPC and the brick walls to the two exposed sides are single skin.
I would like remove the slab and put a new slab in with app. DPC and insulation.
All of these works are being carried out under PD.
I would appreciate your comments. I will talk to building control mid next week.
