It was picked up in the survey, i don't know exact figures but he said a 2inch channel between the house and the edge of the decking would do.
So thats what i did and filled it with gravel.

Thats interesting.....im sure its meant to be 8 inch??? are you selling your house then..Hence the survey?
Looking at the area again this morn the biggest gap i can go for really between building line and patio is 4.5inch, any bigger and it will look weird. I've spent the last few years building this mutli tierd garden and the whole garden has a gravel edge thats around 3 - 4 inches wide. Also any bigger and the patio will be a tiny bit to far away from the rear door.
