Don't know where the damp is coming from, what type of damp but the survey picked it up on purchase of the house
Extensions such as garage conversions will often require supplementary damp proofing to be installed through the conversion, as the pre-existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be put into walls and floors. Moreover, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will usually be achieved by utilising a damp proof membrane. This membrane is available 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 already been damp proofed, but this might have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to comply with current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed in order 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 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 vital to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates suitable 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

Abertillery is the biggest town in the Ebbw Fach Valley in Gwent, Wales. It is surrounded by the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Blaenavon World Heritage Site. The town used to be a major coal mining centre in the past, but the landscape is now restored to its former beauty.
Abertillery had a population of 11,528 at the 2001 census, and 9.9% of the town spoke Welsh. At the 2011 census, this figure dropped to 7.2%.
The town centre contains Victorian architecture as it was developed in the 19th century. It used to have two department stores and a covered shopping arcade. The Blaenau Gwent Borough Council are rejuvenating these places through a remodelling and modernisation project. Currently the completed projects include many streets and Abertillery's Metropole Theatre. As well as putting on plays and shows it is the location of Abertillery Museum.
The steep nature of the hills around the town centre can make it difficult for the town to grow. But it has meant that Abertillery Park, the local rugby ground, looks like an ampitheatre. It's often described as one of the most charming rugby grounds in world rugby.

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!
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.
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.
