Damp Proofing in Alton

Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require extra damp proofing to be added during the conversion, as the pre-existing garage normally has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to 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 most likely be performed by by using 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 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 some garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this may have to be updated 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 making use of damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an integral part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should comply with, and so is it important to make sure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable damp proofing methods.

Alton

Alton is a market town and civil parish inside the East Hampshire district of the English county of Hampshire. It is located across a valley around the source of the River Wey. The town is 9 miles from Farnham and 16 miles from Winchester, with London about 52 miles away. Brockham Hill is the highest point of Alton, at 225 metres above sea level. At the time of the 2011 Census, the town had a population of 17,816. Named within the Domesday Book in 1086 as having a notable market, the Saturday market continued for numerous years. A further crucial part of the town's local economy was the manufacturing of paper and of dress supplies in the 18th century, which consisted of the creation of ribbed druggets, shallons, silks and serges, bombazine and figured barragons. Alton currently has firms in the retail and service sectors, which can be found in the centre of the town, and you'll find greater than one hundred organisations within the four industrial locations of Mill Lane, Newman Lane, Caker Stream and Omega Park. There is a number of independent and industrial chain companies for residents to pick from, like a greengrocers, butchers, hardware shop, five supermarkets in addition to a variety of pubs and restaurants. The town is most notable for its association with Sweet Fanny Adams. This was an eight-year-old girl murdered inside the town by a solicitor's clerk, who was on the list of final criminals to be executed in Winchester. The murder happened at the same time as the introduction of tinned meat within the Royal Navy, with the sailors upset with the new food, suggesting that it contained the remains of 'Sweet Fanny Adams'. For all of your residence upgrades, ensure that you employ trustworthy experts in Alton to ensure that you get the best quality work.

FAQs

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 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.

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.
