raynerd:
Thanks guys,
Eugene, I'm north manchester. I must admit, when I asked about theDPM, I knew what one was, just not how it would be layed in this situation. I know one was installed when building a dwarf wall on our old porch but that was fitted after a few layers of bricks. So here you are saying to lay it along the floor and then concrete over it, making a new floor. I admit that the rest about blue bricks, rafts and floating concrete is over my head! I'm more than prepared to give anything ago but based on Andrews advice, how much would you expect to pay for this to be done for me?

raynerd:
Just one comment  - I have got extra head room but not much! How much would the floor be raised by?

awemawson:
If your current floor is sound and with no cracks a 3 or 4 inch screed would be ok, and would normally be mixed up (or delivered to site) as a semi dry mix for the screeder to lay. Round here (East Sussex) I would expect to pay £150 per day for a skilled man and £100 for his labourer. A full load of mixed screed (6 cu M ) is about £600 but you should need far less,but would have to pay a 'part load' penalty so it's not quite pro-rata.

If it's not a huge garage your screeder may well choose to mix on site from screeding sand and cement which will be more economic but you don't get quite as consistent a mix (ie it varies slightly from one mixer load to the next due to the human factor)

It's less than a days work, but you'll have to pay for a full day probably.

raynerd:
So upto £850??????   :doh: :Doh: :palm:
That is well well well more than I can afford!

awemawson:
Absolutely no point in setting up your workshop unless it is dry. These things don't come cheap. Undoubtedly you can do it yourself for much less but it depends on your skill level  :bugeye: :bugeye:
