Damp Proofing in Boscastle

Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require additional damp proofing to be added through the conversion, as the existing garage will often have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be added to walls and floors. In addition, the roof 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 employing 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 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 will have already been damp proofed, but this might have to be improved as part of the conversion in order to comply with current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is performed by either employing 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 will need to comply with, and so is it important to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable damp proofing methods.

Boscastle

Boscastle is a village and also angling port on the north coast of Cornwall, England, UK, in the civil parish of Forrabury and also Minster (where the 2011 Census population was included). It is 14 miles (23 kilometres) south of Bude and also 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is a natural inlet protected by 2 stone harbour wall surfaces constructed in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville as well as is the only substantial harbour for 20 miles (32 kilometres) along the coastline. The town extends up the valleys of the River Valency as well as River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 created extensive damage to the town. Boscastle exists within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path goes through the town. The town, with its attractive harbour, is a popular traveler destination. Amongst the attractions are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul's Emporium, the Boscastle pottery store, as well as accessibility to the South West Coast Path. Much of the land around Boscastle is had by the National Trust, including both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high over the Boscastle as well as split into old "stitchmeal" growing stories, and also large areas of the Valency Valley, understood for its links to Thomas Hardy. The former harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a hostel run by YHA, prominent with walkers. The National Trust runs a shop at the harbour, as well as a site visitor centre in the Old Smithy.

FAQs

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 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.

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 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.
