Damp Proofing in Aberdeen

Extensions such as garage conversions will typically require additional damp proofing to be added as part of conversion, as the existing garage typically has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be put into walls and floors. Furthermore, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will most likely be performed by utilising 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 if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In a few garages, the walls have been damp proofed, but this may need to be improved as part of the conversion in order to meet current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to protect the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be accomplished 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, and so is it important to make sure that your garage conversion employs appropriate damp proofing methods.

Aberdeen

Aberdeen is Scotland's third most populated city with an official estimate of 228,990 people. The city and the surrounding area has had inhabitants for at least 8,000 years. It is often nicknamed the Silver City because the granite buildings sparkle after the rain. This is because of the high mica content in the local granite.

Aberdeen started as two separate districts. There was Old Aberdeen at the mouth of the River Don, and New Aberdeen which was a fishing and trading village. The two parts of the city joined together in 1891. Old Aberdeen still holds its ancient charter from 1179 but is not officially independent any more.

The city has won the Britain in Bloom competition a record-breaking 11 times. It also holds the Aberdeen International Youth Festival, which is a major event where young performing arts companies come to show their capability.

In 2012, the consulting firm Mercer appointed Aberdeen as the 56th most liveable city in the world and the fourth most liveable city in Britain.

If you live in Aberdeen and you need a replacement boiler, it's important that you look at quotations from a minimum of three trustworthy installers.

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.

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.

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 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.
