Damp Proofing in Bathgate

Extensions such as garage conversions will typically require additional damp proofing to be installed as part of conversion, as the existing garage typically has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be added to walls and floors. Additionally, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will in most cases be achieved by utilising a damp proof membrane. This membrane can come 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 whether 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 to be able to meet current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This can be carried out by either implementing damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already in the garage. Damp proofing is a part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to adhere to, and so is it necessary to make sure that your garage conversion employs suitable damp proofing methods.

Bathgate

The town of Bathgate is found in West Lothian, in Scotland. It is found around the M8 motorway, five miles to the west of Livingston. As per the 2011 Census, Bathgate has a permanent population of approximately 20,363. The town is south of the ancient Neolithic burial place at Carnipapple Hill, and there is proof of settlements at Bathgate from before 3500 BC. Bathgate was an industrial town throughout the industrial age. It was the home of Menzies' Foundry and British Leyland. There were two train stations throughout this time - Bathgate North and Bathgate South. A link from 1 station to the back of the other was created for the coal mining industries and also the foundries. Only one railway continues to exist, the Bathgate Railway Station, which has frequent trains to Edinburgh and Glasgow. As a result of the closure of lots of the industries in West Lothian by the middle of the twentieth century, the town was part of a Special Development Area, leading to the town's essential redevelopment. Those living in Bathgate enjoy a wide selection of shops, which are essential contributors to the local economy. Opened in the late nineteenth century, the Co-operative halls originally served the community, being the home to a bakery, a butchers, a funeral parlour, grocery, clothing and furniture shops, and a dance hall. In spite of its closure in the 1980s, there's a selection of local and commercial chain retailers. Bathgate has been home to a number of notable people, like Sir James Young Simpson, a medical doctor who experimented with chloroform and discovered it had anaesthetic properties that may be made use of through childbirth, and David Tennant, a popular British actor. For all your home upgrades, be certain that you employ trustworthy pros in Bathgate to make sure you get the very best quality service.

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 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.

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.
