Damp Proofing in Amersham

Extensions such as garage conversions will typically require supplementary damp proofing to be installed as part of conversion, as the existing garage normally has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be added to walls and floors. Additionally, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will often 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 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 a few garages, the walls will have already been damp proofed, but this may need to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to comply with current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly 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 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 employs suitable damp proofing methods.

Amersham

Amersham is a market town and civil parish within the Chiltern district in the English county of Buckinghamshire. It is within the Chiltern Hills, 27 miles northwest of London, 15 miles from Aylesbury and 13 miles from High Wycombe. It forms an integral part of the London commuter belt on account of its closeness to London. There's a chalk stream that runs through the town, although it frequently dries up all through the year. The river is in a large valley which is bigger than is possible for the River Misbourne to reduce, meaning that it is a misfit stream. The origins of the town might be dated back to a time prior to the Anglo-Saxon period, and it's named within the Domesday Book of 1086. In 1200, the Earl of Essex was granted a charter for Amersham, which permitted for the hosting of a market on Fridays and a fair in September. One more charter, obtained in 1613, changed the market day to Tuesday and it created a statute fair on 19th September. Prior to the creation of the Metropolitan Railway in 1892, the part of the town currently called Amersham on the Hill was known as Amersham Common. Following this, the town began to expand. There are many parks open to members of the public for sporting and outdoor activities. The town is also home to Amersham Town F.C., who play at Spratley's Meadow in Old Amersham. Amersham posesses a Grade II listed building, 'High and Over House', which was developed with an art deco style by the architect Amyas Connell in 1931. For all of your house upgrades, make certain that you utilise trusted specialists in Amersham to make sure you get the best quality.

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 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.

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.
