I have a problem with mould on one side of my house. I feel this is quite urgent as it is growing rapidly
Extensions including garage conversions will typically require extra damp proofing to be installed during the conversion, as the existing garage routinely has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be put into walls and floors. Furthermore, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will usually be achieved by employing 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, 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 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 will need to be damp proofed in order to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This can be done by either applying 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 will need to comply with, therefore is it important to ensure that your garage conversion employs appropriate damp proofing methods.
The average cost of Damp proofing is £1500. Costs vary based upon the materials and the organisation selected. The upper price range can be as high as £1725. The material costs are in general about £375

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.
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!
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.
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.
