Hi everyone.
I'm very new here but understand this question may have been already asked.
I've just bought an old old old house and will be renovating virtually half of it. My first job is to turn an old storage room into a bathroom.
The flooring is currently soil and after reading around I understand I need to dig down, lay hardcore, then sand then install a DPM. my problems begin here. Because the house is so old there is probably no damp proofing but the walls are approx 50cm thick made from stone and lime mortar.
So my question is would I install the floor the same way I would if there was a damp proof in the walls or are there other methods?
Just in case it changes anything, the house is in France.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
