Damp Proofing in Askam-in-furness

Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require additional damp proofing to be added as part of conversion, as the pre-existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be added to walls and floors. Additionally, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will often 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, 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 have been damp proofed, but this might 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 safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is done by either applying 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 integral part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to adhere to, therefore is it vital to make sure that your garage conversion incorporates appropriate damp proofing methods.

Askam-in-furness

Askam and Ireleth is a civil parish close to Barrow-in-Furness in the area of Cumbria, in North West England. Historically part of Lancashire, it initially contained two different coastal towns with different beginnings and also histories which, in current times, have actually merged to turn into one continual negotiation. The population of the civil parish taken at the 2011 Census was 3,632. Ireleth has its beginnings as a mediaeval farming town clustered on the hillside ignoring the flat sands of the Duddon Tidewater. Askam was developed following the exploration of big quantities of iron ore near the village in the middle of the 18th century. Both initially fell within the limits of the Numerous Lonsdale 'north of the sands' in the historical county of Lancashire, but complying with local government reforms in 1974 became part of the area of Cumbria, along with the remainder of Furness. The close-by River Duddon tidewater and surrounding countryside have made the location popular for its wildlife, while the villages' revealed placement on the eastern bank encountering the Irish Sea have actually encouraged the establishment of wind energy generation, in the middle of local conflict.

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 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 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.
