Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require supplementary damp proofing to be installed as part of conversion, as the existing garage typically has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be added to walls and floors. In addition, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will in most cases be achieved by by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane can come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be put down either on top of the pre-existing concrete floor, underneath the new floor, or as part of both, depending on whether the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls have been damp proofed, but this might have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to adhere to current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be accomplished by either applying 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, and so is it necessary to make sure that your garage conversion makes use of appropriate damp proofing methods.
The average cost of Damp proofing is £1500. Costs vary based upon the materials and the organisation selected. The upper price range can be as high as £1725. The material costs are in general about £375

Aberargie is a village in the south east of Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is situated on the western edge of the old Abernethy Parish along the River Farg, which is where it derives its name from. Aberargie is about 1.6 miles west of Abernethy and 2.2 miles south-east of Bridge of Earn.
Aberargie can be dated back to at least 460AD, as this was when the Pictish Chronicle listed it as part of Nechtan's land grant. It's highly likely that it has been in existence for a lot longer. Formerly, the community thrived by utilising the River Farg to operate water mills for sawing timber and milling flax and meal. The mills stopped production by the early 20th century and the most complete mill was demolished in the 1950s.
Archaeologists have found neolithic flints in the village as well as Scottish Medieval pottery. They have also found flintlock rifle and pistol flints, indicating that there has been a settlement at Aberargie for an extensive amount of time.
If your property in Aberargie needs a replacement boiler, it's important that you compare quotes from no less than three respected companies.

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.
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.
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.
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!
