Damp Proof Course?

[MagsterMum]

Pretending I know what I'm talking about, but not a clue. With the rain this year the tarmac at the side of the house 'sank' and house bricks were exposed. Had someone come out to replace part of the tarmac as shown in pics, but I'm worried it's not high enough? The bricks have gaps in them were covered by the original tarmac. I wasn't home when it was replaced but DH was...who apparently never listened or looked at the wall/floor before and after (but that's another story). Can anyone advise whether this is OK or I should call them back again?

The DPC is likely to be at the level of the rendering/bottom of the door frame.
So you have the necessary 150mm between ground level and dpc.
Most likely the two courses of brickwork you can see have been repointed, but the lower courses not, and you can see where the mortar has been washed away. This is very, very common and usually nothing to worry about.

That's good to hear. So should I just leave it? I was concerned about damp with the gaps between the bricks when it rains etc.

It’s below ground level so will already have been soaked. The whole house below the ground level will be the same.
Lime mortar is no good below the dpc, but it’s the way older houses were built.

So, should I just leavenit or call them back to raise the level of tarmac? Sorry I literally have nonidea if it's OK to leave or not..
