Raising damp Victorian house

paulroberts

I have recently purchase a Victorian house which has had the ground floors filled the floors do have a DPC however they are pushing moisture into the base of the walls.
Is it possible remove the floors and replace with a beam and block suspended floor?

Sometimes victorian foundation are only a brick deep, you will need to ig a hole outside to find out how deep yours are.

I have done that it gos down to 4 bricks

Block and beam are fine but if you have, can make ventilation I,d go suspended timber e.g joist on a dwarf wall or joist hangers etc it will look and feel better, Is in more in keeping with of house of that age is within average diyers ability is dame site easier to remove if problems arise?
