Damp Proofing in Bridgnorth

Extensions including garage conversions will often require supplementary damp proofing to be installed through the conversion, as the 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 need to be put into walls and floors. Additionally, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will in most cases be performed by employing 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 pre-existing concrete floor, underneath the new floor, or as part of both, depending on if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In a few garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this may need to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to meet current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to protect the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be done 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 important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should comply with, and so is it vital to ensure that your garage conversion employs suitable damp proofing methods.

Bridgnorth

Bridgnorth is a town in the English county of Shropshire. Resting on the Severn Valley, it is split into High Town and Low Town. Their names describe their heights in relation to the River Severn, which separates the higher town on the right bank from the lower one to the left. With regard to the 2011 Census, the permanent population of Bridgnorth is roughly 12,079, which has increased slightly from the approximately 11,891 measured in the 2001 Census. Bridgnorth contains an incline railway, the Castle Hill Railway, which connects the high and low halves of the town. This is the steepest and only inland railway of this type in the country. As well as this, the town contains the Bridgnorth Railway Station, found inside the High Town on the Severn Valley Railway, which runs southwards to Kidderminster. The ruins of Bridgnorth Castle, constructed in 1101, have never been found in the town. Due to damage caused throughout the English Civil War, the castle is said to be on an incline of 15 degrees. High Town is dominated by two Church of England churches. St. Mary's Church, a church designed and built in the style of the late 18th century by Thomas Telford, is still utilised for worship. St. Leonard's was previously collegiate, and Bridgnorth was Royal Peculiar till 1856. It was subsequently reconstructed, but it is no longer used for standard worship. It continues to have numerous uses in the community and it is stewarded by the Churches Conservation Trust. You can find a lot of sports opportunities for those living in Bridgnorth, and it's famed in Shropshire for having the most thriving table tennis club in the county. For all your house improvements, make sure that you employ vetted pros in Bridgnorth to ensure you get a fantastic 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.
