I'm considering concrete beam and block to replace a suspended

I don't know, but I should thing that a timber floor will be much
cheaper and easier to install than a suspended concrete one! Even
with insulation and nice boards....

No, it isn;tt. And its draughty as well because you have to let
underfloor spaces breathe or risk rot.


Not draughty with insulation as I mentioned above....

Yes, but you still have an underfloor draught that reduces the
temperature of the floor.

Even with insulation. I know cos I have a block and beam floor and its
definitely colder even with insulation than solid floor with equivalent
insulation.
