hi,
i have had a driveway done which is ok. while doing the porch i asked the builder to build two small return wall out the front, 700mm high and 700mm out, in order to fit an open front porch. this has also got a small raised step also built in the same blocks the drive is made of.
my question is, - the two small walls and the step have breached the DPC for its 2mtr width. I can see why he has done it, in order to make a step, but i have always been mindful of my DPC levels. is this going to cause me problems. there has been no membrane used to form a barrier anywhere.
i have still to pay him the remainder of the balance. What if anything is the right thing to do here.
regards
