Damp Proofing in Bourne

Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require supplementary damp proofing to be installed during the conversion, as the pre-existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be added to walls and floors. Moreover, 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 utilising a damp proof membrane. This membrane is available 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 already been damp proofed, but this might need to be updated as part of the conversion in order to adhere to current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be carried out by either applying damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, therefore is it important to make sure that your garage conversion incorporates suitable damp proofing methods.

Bourne

Bourne is a market town and civil parish within the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. Bourne is situated around the eastern slopes of the Kesteven Uplands and the western edge of the Lincolnshire Fens. The town is positioned on a Roman road now called King Street and was built around the natural springs, hence the name 'Bourne', which comes from the Anglo-Saxon meaning 'water' or 'stream'. It lies on the intersection between the A15 and the A151 roads. The civil parish contains the main township as well as the hamlets of Cawthorpe, Dyke and Twenty. In former years, Austerby was seen as a distinct village with its own shops and street plan, but is now an area considered to be within Bourne known as The Austerby. The town's economy was driven by rural industries until the opening of the railway created a market for bottled mineral water. Though it is nevertheless focused on agriculture and food preparation for supermarkets you can also find important light engineering and tourism activities. The area includes a quickly developing housing market with considerable new building work being undertaken in Bourne during the 2000s. The population noted at the 2001 census was around 13,961, growing to 14,456 individuals in the 2011 census. Bourne Town Football Club plays in the United Counties Football League and the junior club runs teams for young people at all ages in local league competitions. Bourne Cricket Club is one of the most successful in the Lincolnshire ECB Premier League, having won the competition 3 times since it started in 2000. The club frequently supplies players for the Lincolnshire Minor Counties team. These teams play their home games at the Abbey Lawn, a recreation ground that is privately owned by the Bourne United Charities. For all of your property upgrades, ensure that you pick trusted experts in Bourne to make sure you get a great quality service.

FAQs

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.

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.
