Hi All,
I have just moved into a new house that has a very rotted shed at the bottom of the garden that initially just looked to be sat on the ground and surrounded by shingle. On closer inspection it was sat on a 5m x 3m concrete slab:
I can't see a DPM in the slab though:
In the longer term I would like to build a workshop to the Mike G recipe but in the short term I need to build/buy something quick to get all the tools out of an expensive storage unit and the living room - something the wife has mentioned a few times..... The house needs a tonne of work done before I can get around to the dream workshop though
For the quick fix should I just put a wooden base down on some bearers? Do I put dpm down above/below the bearers? Anything else I need to beware of? The exiting shed is in a terrible state:
For the later Mike G style build, will the slab need to be replaced with one with a DPM or can something be done with the existing?
As I live in a conservation area I need to get planning permission to remove / build / replace any garden buildings, which might slow things down a bit
Appreciate any advise
Thanks
