Extensions including garage conversions will usually require supplementary damp proofing to be added through the conversion, as the existing garage typically has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be put into walls and floors. Moreover, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will usually be performed 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 whether the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In a few garages, the walls have been damp proofed, but this might need to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to comply with current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is 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 will need to adhere to, therefore is it vital to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates 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

Blandford Forum, generally Blandford, is a market town in the North Dorset area of Dorset, England, sited by the River Stour about 13 mi (21 kilometres) northwest of Poole. It was the management headquarters of North Dorset District Council up until April 2019, when area councils merged to become Dorset County Council. Blandford is remarkable for its Georgian architecture, the outcome of rebuilding after the majority of the town was destroyed by a fire in 1731. The restoring job was aided by an Act of Parliament and also a contribution by George II, and also the rebuilt town centre-- to designs by regional architects John and William Bastard-- has actually endured to the present day largely intact. Blandford Camp, a military base, is sited on the hills two miles to the north east of the community. It is the base of the Royal Corps of Signals, the communications wing of the British Military, as well as the site of the Royal Signals Gallery. Dorset County Council estimates that in 2013 the community's civil church had a population of 10,610. The community's economic situation is based upon a mix of the service sector as well as light market, and supplies work for regarding 4,000 individuals.

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.
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!
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.
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.
