Hi All,
Hope everyone is well.
I have a question and would love some advice, if possible please?
My property is around the 1600's. I have a diningroom with a suspended floor. The void under the floorboards is only 6inch deep. The diningroom is in the middle of the house. Livingroom is at the front and a kitchen at the back of the house and its a mid terrace so the dining room doesnt have an external wall. The livingroom and kitchen both have solid floors so its only the diningroom that has a small void under it. The void is full of soil/bricks/stones etc...
As I would like to lay a new floor, I've been told it would be best for the floor to have no moment and ideally be a solid floor also.
My question, does anyone see an issue with filling with cement and making it a hard floor also and if there is potential issues how could I get round those issues. I did think one issue could be damp but is there something I could do to prevent this from happening..(i.e damp proof membrane) I've also had issues with rats in the void space, so this would take care of many issues if I could make it a hard floor.
Thankyou for any help
