Damp Proofing in Berriedale

Extensions including garage conversions will usually require additional damp proofing to be added through the conversion, as the pre-existing garage will often have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be added to walls and floors. In addition, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will in most cases be performed by by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane will come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be placed 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 some garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this may need to be updated as part of the conversion to be able to meet current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed in order to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be carried out by either using damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already present in the garage. Damp proofing is a part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should comply with, and so is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates suitable damp proofing methods.

Berriedale

Berriedale is a tiny estate town on the northern eastern shore of Caithness, Scotland, on the A9 road between Helmsdale and also Lybster, near to the limit between Caithness as well as Sutherland. It is sheltered from the North Sea. The village has a parish church in the Church of Scotland. Simply south of Berriedale, on the way to the north, the A9 passes the Berriedale Braes, a steep decrease in the landscape (brae is a Scots word for hillside, a borrowing of the Scottish Gaelic bràighe). The roadway falls considerably (13% over 1,3 kilometres) to link a river, before increasing once more (13% over 1,3 km), with a number of sharp bends in the road-- although a few of the barrette bends and other nearby gradients have been eased in the last few years. The impracticality (as well as price) of bridging the Berriedale Braes protected against the building of the Inverness-Wick Far North Line along the east shore of Caithness; instead the train runs inland with the Flow Country. Berriedale is located at the end of the 8th phase of the coastal John o' Groats Route.
