    Chippings next to house

    I have been paving my front garden. I had noticed a couple of slabs were sinking a little so I dug them up and relaid I have left a gap of 300mm to the house with about 4 inches of small chippings. The paving is running away at at least 1/60. Also not much rain water falls in that area due to the over hang of about 300mm of the roof What I noticed after finishing is that the slabs although 300mm away are about 30mm higher than the bottom of the dpc. There doesn't appear to have been problems when the two large slabs were sloping in and that's been fixed. Perhaps I am overthrowing it but I just wanted to check
