Damp Proofing in Abbots Ripton

Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require extra damp proofing to be installed during the conversion, as the existing garage typically has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be put into walls and floors. Additionally, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will often be achieved by by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane will come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be placed down either on top of the existing concrete floor, underneath the new floor, or as part of both, depending on if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls have been damp proofed, but this might need to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to comply with current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to protect the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is performed by either implementing damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, therefore is it necessary to make sure that your garage conversion incorporates appropriate damp proofing methods.

Abbots Ripton

Abbots Ripton is a parish in Cambridgeshire. It lies five miles north of Huntingdon. It has a population of just 309, and covers 4,191 acres of land. The parish is part of the District of Huntingdonshire, which also contains St Ives, St Neots, Godmanchester and Ramsey.

The village was the site of the Abbots Ripton railway disaster in 1876, where a Flying Scotsman train collided with a coal train during a blizzard.

Abbots Ripton has a lengthy history. The Domesday book names it Riptone, and in the 11th century it was named Riptune. Moat Farm has trees as old as Shakespeare's era, and St. Andrew's church tower is approximately 400 years old. It holds a bell manufactured in 1400 and another from 1671. The nave, aisle and porch of the church are even older, dating back to the 13th century.

The village has a 17th-century pub, the Three Horseshoes, which was severely damaged by a fire in 2010 caused by embers in the chimney.

If you need a replacement boiler for your home in Abbots Ripton, make sure you get at least three quotations from trustworthy firms before making a decision.

FAQs

How can I tell if my property has damp?

There are a few visible signs of damp, although it often goes undetected. However, in older or empty properties, this made become detectable through its smell. These include peeling paint and wallpaper, crumbling plaster, mould growth, black spots or spores on walls and ceilings, and rotting skirting boards and flooring.

Why is it important to fix a damp problem?

Damp is a serious problem, particularly if you live in an old property, because it can lead to structural damage. This will cost you big money and could be very dangerous, to yourself and the property. Take damp seriously and get it inspected and resolved as soon as you discover it!

How can I tell what type of damp I’ve got?

Signs of rising damp tend to be close to the ground, usually no higher than a metre. It usually works its way up walls in horizontal lines. Penetrating damp usually develops in patches and can often be much higher up. For more advice, speak to a damp proofing professional.

How quickly can I redecorate my walls after damp proofing has been installed?

You should make sure that all signs of damp have gone before you redecorate your walls. If you want to paint your walls with a water-permeable emulsion paint, you can usually do this after 1 or 2 months. For other types of decoration you should wait longer.
