Are you in little Johnny's class by any chance?

Mate, I feel for you. That is some shoddy work and it looks like the tradesman has gone off and left the apprentice to do the job. I feel for you, as I also got so called professional people in to build my garden room. At first I thought fine, but on closer inspection, it’s rough as. As others...

Not enough room mate. Either under the building or around the back and sides.

Yeah, that's the plan. I have now ordered a hydraulic toe jack. (None available to hire or buy locally) Which will hopefully lift a corner. The idea is to lift a few inches, get something in, move to the next bit, and so on. Hopefully eventually it will come up enough to get something solid...

Here are some more photos showing the whole thing and the inside. If the wedges don't work, we are going to take the vinyl floor out, mark each piece, and take out the floor, then hopefully lift it somehow from inside. Ignore the horrific window. We decided right away that we would get someone...

It's wooden panels

"you may also getting cracking of the finishes internally depending on what they are if you go jacking it up one corner at a time ...." I realise this too, but that is a hit I am prepared to take to get the thing off the deck

"Even when it's suspended in mid air you've got to get whatever it's going to bear on positioned under each floor joist etc. Lintels running the full length might be easier than some bricks." Yes, I understand this, but I have loads of bricks and the plan was to put loads of them under the...

My mate is a joiner and he suggested lifting the inside floor and using a crow bar to lift the whole thing from inside. I wanted to avoid this as it means taking out the vinyl flooring. I know we can refit this, but obviously I would rather not lift it at all. If it comes to that, we will have...

I have attached photos. Pic. 1 and 4 show the lack of gap and 2 and 3 show the tight space at the back and side. I am annoyed at myself for not insisting to this absolute cowboy who built the thing. I said put it on bricks!

The problem with the wedge idea is, the back and side of the building don't have much room to swing a sledge hammer enough to hammer wedges in. I could certainly try it at the front sides.

Cheers mate, I didn't think of that. I was too caught up in the mechanical route.

Hi people, this is my first post on this forum, so I am unsure of this has been mentioned before. Recently we got a summer house built in our back garden. I said at the start, to the cowboy builder, can you build this on bricks I have? (I have a load of fire bricks left over from an old storage...
