Allow to excavate a further 200mm and cart away all material, form a clean and level base; this should give an overall depth to FFL of around 400mm 10 Font area: Allow to excavate to a depth of 400mm ( to match above) after the font base has been removed ( see below) and cart away all material, form a clean and level base 11 Allow to insert 250mm celotex insulation and 100mm limecrete topping within the existing pipe ducts, to leave depth of iron grilles below finished level 12 Lay 25mm of sand blinding with a 1200 guage dpm on top taken up the side walls; Lay a 125mm limecrete slab over with a smooth top finish 13 Allow to excavate, remove material and thicken the slab to 250mm under the new font location 14 Lay 125mm thick of Celotex insulation on the limecrete slab with a 600g separating layer over, fit a 20mm strip of vertical insulation material against the external walls 15 At this stage new 18mm underfloor heating pipework will be fixed to the insulation and supply pipework will be installed to the radiators.
