Did you get a contractor to install the block paving or was it the housebuilders? It's recommended there be a 150mm gap between the ground level and the DPC, yours looks to be a lot less than that assuming it sits above the air brick as that would put it in line with the patio door sill. You wouldn't want to see any damp issues as a result.
Paving was all done by the house builders, so presumably all signed off. I’m afraid I’m out of my depth here, but husband says: “DPC sits above airblock and set of doors sit low down as they’re bifold with a rebated threshold. Leaves need cleaning out from gravel surround too. Should be ok, but good spot!“
Will keep an eye on it though - thank you! Certainly don’t want damp problems.
I'm insanely jealous of your garden.
We’re really looking forward to getting some use out of it. Just hope everything goes to plan.
just make sure in the contract you're not paying for delays caused by unavailability of materials. For fixed price worth getting the order the materials delivered so he's not delayed "outside his control"..
Really good point, thanks. Will make sure things are ordered and delivered ASAP. Our next door neighbour works in building materials, so he might be able to help us/the landscapers with suppliers.
