If I wanted to raise a step by 2 inches, how would I go about it?
Let's call the hallway sea level, then the kitchen has a step up with a lip on it (a sill?). This sits under the architrave of the doorway, then the wooden floorboards of the kitchen are at that level, then there's 1.5 inches of concrete ramp at the other end.
My non builder mind presumes: I would take off the architrave, then find a thicker piece of wood to replace the sill, or just stick something on top of the current one, cut in to the existing architrave (most likely fit a new one). The aim is to get the doorway to be the same height (or slightly higher) than the concrete at the far end of the kitchen so I can prepare the wooden floorboards/fill in above them to be a constant height across the room in preparation for putting in karndean/similar.
