Relaying kitchen floor. I've dug down to the level where the top of the MOT / bottom of insulation / DPM would be. The ground is compacted soil (not really clay at this level), but has been there undisturbed for 80 years. It seems silly digging out 100mm and just replacing it with MOT. Could I just put the DPM and insulation on the soil (sand blinded if need be) and forget the MOT layer ? I can't see that it adds anything. Any points loads above are spread out by the slab / insulation and the ground is not going to settle after 80 years ! Would the BCO be likely to accept this ? Thanks, Simon.
