Damp Proofing in Alloa

Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require additional damp proofing to be installed during the conversion, as the pre-existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be added to walls and floors. Moreover, 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 using a damp proof membrane. This membrane is available in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be placed down either on top of the existing concrete floor, below 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 will have already been damp proofed, but this may have to be improved as part of the conversion in order to comply with current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This can be performed by either utilising damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should adhere to, therefore is it important to ensure that your garage conversion employs appropriate damp proofing methods.

Alloa

Alloa is a town in Clackmannanshire, set in the Central Lowlands of Scotland. It lies on the north bank of the Firth of Forth next to the foot of the Ochil Hills, 5.5 miles (8.9 kilometres) east of Stirling and 7.9 miles (12.7 kilometres) north of Falkirk. The name possibly means 'rock plain'. As per the 2001 census, Alloa had a permanent population of 18,989. Upgrades had been made to the harbour throughout the 1700s, leading to Alloa thriving as a river port whereby the goods produced in Glasgow were exported to continental Europe. During those times, and till the 1950s, the main industry to the north and east of the town was coal mining. Wool has also normally been plentiful locally and in the early years of the 19th century, John Paton established a modest yarn-spinning company inside the town, later establishing Kilncraigs Mill. His business merged with J. & J. Baldwin of Halifax in 1924 to become the world-famous Paton & Baldwins Ltd. Alloa was renowned for its weaving and glassmaking industries through the 19th and into the early 20th century. Alloa has long been linked to the brewing sector, with a minimum of nine major breweries producing ales at its height. It was also home to a distillery. After the closure of the distillery, barrel cooperage continues to flourish in the town. The town offers a bustling shopping centre, with nationally recognised supermarket chains on the site of the old distillery, near to the railway station. For all your house improvements, be certain that you utilise trustworthy specialists in Alloa to ensure that you obtain the best quality work.

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 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 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.
