As per title. Can't see anything in brickwork. Is the dpc just below the air bricks?

can you see anybetter down the side of the house - Just a DIYer , but in the houses where i have worked , it can be above or below the airbricks , where is the door threshold maybe that helps.
The tiles , which i think you are laying tiles as previous post , once finished i have always thought of at the absoute minimum maybe a brick and half below the threshold , recommended is 150mm
I have had a houses where steps upto patio doors have been above DPC and garage above dpc had to take action to correct.
BUT Note - just a diyer

@ETAF the door threshold lies just above those airbricks, sorry for my lack of knowledge but is the door threshold a indication of where the DPC is?

Thanks
 
Is there a part of a wall somewhere that you can see what's behind that rendered plinth? E.g. a door opening or around an airbrick. There may be a slate course, or possibly nothing at all. Chip off some render round a corner somewhere out of sight, looking for yourself will be far more accurate and probably quicker than pondering on the internet about it.

Have any neighours removed it?
