Damp Proofing in Buntingford

Extensions such as garage conversions will often require supplementary damp proofing to be added as part of conversion, as the pre-existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured 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 often be achieved by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane will come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be put 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 some garages, the walls have already 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 performed by either employing damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should comply with, and so is it important to ensure that your garage conversion employs suitable damp proofing methods.
