    Hi, we have recently had our drive paved. We live on a sloped garden. Part of the job included removing the concrete path that was attached to the house. On inspection I noticed some exposed brick beneath the render line on the house. Should I be worried that this is exposed foundation? The block seems to jut out about an inch from the render.

    no, blockwork would only be rendered 9 inches below dpc level usually then footpath comes above this, you have removed therefore bare blockwork now showing
