Damp Proofing in Antrim

Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require additional damp proofing to be installed through 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 should 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 usually be achieved by 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 have to be updated as part of the conversion to be able to meet current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is accomplished by either implementing 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 adhere to, and so is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates suitable damp proofing methods.

Antrim

Translating as 'lone ridge', Antrim is a town and civil parish in County Antrim in the northeast of Northern Ireland. It is located around the banks of the Six Mile Water, which is half a mile from Lough Neagh. It is the county town of County Antrim and prior to this, was the administrative home of Antrim Borough Council. There are lots of divisions and suburbs of Antrim, a number of which include Ballycraigy, Carnbeg, Caulside, Dublin Road, Greenvale, Greystone, Islandbawn, Meadowlands, Muckamore, Newpark, Niblock, plus the Folly. Boasting a population of 20001, Antrim is categorised as being a large sized town by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency. Of this population, 23.1 percent were below 16 years old and 15.7% were older than 60. 48.6 percent of the population were male and 51.4% were female. Quite a few buildings inside the town are historically significant, especially close to the High Street. This consists of the courthouse, a 19th-century smithy on Bridge Street, which features a special horseshoe entrance, Shane's Castle and Antrim Castle, the Castle Grounds, plus the Springfarm Rath. Renovations to Antrim Market House, a 2-storey building which is 9 bays long, 3 deep, built in 1726, are presently happening. This will contain Antrim Information Centre, relocating it from its location on the High Street, plus a multi-functional auditorium in an effort to offer an area for a lot of functions, like theatre and music productions. As a result of being on the banks of a river, the linen industry came to prominence in Antrim, although this was impacted by the decline in the industry through the 20th century. It has been replaced by Northern Ireland's Technology Park. For all of your property upgrades, be certain that you use trustworthy pros in Antrim to make sure that you get the very best quality.

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.

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.

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!
