If it's 300 years old, dpm-ing the floor will increase the damp in

We have a dehumidifier. Obviously it doesn't have much effect on the
parts that are behind the cupboard doors - the old ones always smelt damp.

I have seen floors without any membrane and allowed to breath without
issue.

Would I put laminated chipboard kitchen units on a damp floor? Nope.


I would hope these are on plastic stilts?


Most of it is in plastic stilts.

Most.

There are four fixed panels that go all the way to floor level.


Generally those are end panels and can be easily changed, so something I
wouldn't worry about.
