Extensions such as garage conversions will often require extra damp proofing to be installed as part of conversion, as the existing garage normally has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be put into walls and floors. Additionally, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will usually be performed by employing a damp proof membrane. This membrane is available in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be put down either on top of the existing concrete floor, underneath 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 have been damp proofed, but this might have to be updated as part of the conversion in order to adhere to current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is done 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 adhere to, and so is it important to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable 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

Buckhurst Hill is an affluent suburban town in Essex in England. Adjacent to Greater London's northern boundary, it forms a part of the Greater London Urban Area. It is to the west of Essex, roughly 10 miles (17 km) northeast of Charing Cross and nearby to the border with the London Borough of Redbridge. Parts of Epping Forest are in Buckhurst Hill and are mixed with residential areas. The nearest places are Chigwell, Chingford, Loughton and Woodford. As outlined by the 2011 Census, the town has a resident population of about 11,380 residents. The very first record of Buckhurst Hill is in 1135, when reference was made to 'La Bocherste', becoming in later years 'Bucket Hill', historically describing a hill which is covered with beech trees. It lay in Epping Forest and consisted of only a few scattered homes along the old road from Woodford to Loughton. Before the building of the railways, Buckhurst Hill was on the stage coach route in between London and Cambridge, Norwich, Bury St Edmunds and Dunmow. Initially it was a part of the parish of Chigwell; there was no road which connected the 2 communities and to be able to get to church, residents had to cross the River Roding at Woodford. The opening of Buckhurst Hill Station in 1856 saw a rapid expansion in the population of the area, with nearly 600 new homes being constructed near the station by 1871. The town is also home to Buckhurst Hill Football Club and Buckhurst Hill Cricket Club.

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.
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.
