Damp Proofing in Biggleswade

Extensions including garage conversions will usually require extra 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 designed to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be added to walls and floors. Furthermore, the roof 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 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 if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls have been damp proofed, but this may need to be updated as part of the conversion in order to adhere to current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is performed 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 should comply with, therefore is it vital to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates appropriate damp proofing methods.

Biggleswade

Biggleswade is a market town and civil parish on the River Ivel within the English county of Bedfordshire. It's roughly forty miles north of Central London and twenty miles from Cambridge. Historic settlements near Biggleswade are believed to have existed from about 10000 BC, which is supported by archaeological proof, such as arrowheads dating from the period that have been found within the town. As recorded in the 2011 Census, the town had a resident population of about 16,500. Because of efficient transportation links, being located along the A1 road between London and the North, as well as getting a railway station about the major rail link North from London, the population has increased by almost 10% during the last ten years. This progress is expected to continue thanks to new housing developments. Historically, Biggleswade was a vegetable growing region with much of the produce being transported to be sold in London, such as Covent Garden. Even though a great deal of the trade has closed, Bedfordshire Growers, positioned on the outskirts of the town, continue to provide the leading UK supermarkets in the United Kingdom with potatoes and onions grown in Biggleswade. Biggleswade is also home to the headquarters for Jordan's cereals, a firm that creates several sorts of muesli and granola. Sports and leisure activities play a significant part in the local community. For all of your house upgrades, ensure that you use trusted professionals in Biggleswade to ensure that you get a great 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 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 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.
