Extensions including garage conversions will usually require extra damp proofing to be installed through the conversion, as the existing garage routinely has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be put into walls and floors. Furthermore, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will usually be achieved 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 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 some garages, the walls have been damp proofed, but this might need to be improved as part of the conversion in order to comply with current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be carried out 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 adhere to, and so is it important to make sure that your garage conversion employs suitable damp proofing methods.

Barmouth is a community and also area in the area of Gwynedd, north-western Wales, lying on the estuary of the River Mawddach and Cardigan Bay. Situated in the Historic county of Merionethshire, the Welsh form of the name is originated from "Aber" (estuary) and the river's name, "Mawddach". The English type of the name is a corruption of the earlier Welsh kind 'Abermawdd'. The community is served by Barmouth railway station. The town expanded around the shipbuilding sector, and extra lately as a seaside hotel. Remarkable structures include the medieval Ty Gwyn tower house, the 19th century Ty Crwn roundhouse jail and also St John's Church.

Dinas Oleu (Citadel of Light), which is located east of the community on the adjoining hill, was the initial tract of land to be donated to the National Count on.
