I wish to install a pre cast gully surround to finish of around the gully to save any splashing onto the slabs.The Sink,dishwater,and washing machine empty into the gully so just greywater.My query is this,if the top of the gully surround is higher than the slabs it will make it higher than the 150mm DPC clearance,bearing in mind that is only a small area of contact against the wall would this mater if the top of the surround was a 100mm below the DPC?
Thanks wideboy(Ian)

In theory, it possibly could matter.
In reality, probably not.
Could you leave a slight gap between the gully surround you wish to install and the brickwork?

Wouldn't matter - but as above a small gap between the surround and the brickwork wouldn't be a bad idea.

if you use a pea trap instead you can normally get these lower.
