Damp Proofing in Aberdour

Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require additional damp proofing to be installed through the conversion, as the existing garage will often have 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 will have to be added to 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 employing 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 pre-existing concrete floor, below 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 will have already been damp proofed, but this might have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to meet current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed in order to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is accomplished by either utilising 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 should comply with, therefore is it vital to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates appropriate damp proofing methods.

Aberdour

Aberdour is an old village on the south coast of Fife, Scotland. It is often called the Jewel of Fife because of its beautiful scenery. It had a population of 1633 in the 2001 census. It is situated between the larger towns of Burntisland and Dalgety Bay.

The village's name comes from the Pictish, which indicates that Aberdour has been settled since the Dark Ages. Until the 19th century when the railway was developed, Aberdour was actually split in two villages. The railway has gained many 'best kept station' awards, and the ticket inspectors were known for singing down the carriages. It is a half an hour train journey to Edinburgh from Aberdour, which increased its popularity with commuters.

In the middle of the village sits Aberdour Castle. It was a small hall house overlooking the Dour Burn in the 13th century. The oldest part of it that remains is one of the oldest surviving stone castles in mainland Scotland. Close to the castle is St Fillan's church which is one of the best-preserved medieval parish churches in Scotland.

If you require a replacement boiler for your home in Aberdour, it's best to get at least three quotations from reputable firms.

FAQs

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.

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!
