Damp Proofing in Caterham

Extensions including garage conversions will typically 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 conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be put into walls and floors. In addition, 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 achieved by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane can 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 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 to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This can be accomplished by either implementing 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 will need to comply with, and so is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion employs appropriate damp proofing methods.

Caterham

Caterham is a town in the Tandridge District of Surrey. For administrative purposes, the town is split into two: Caterham on the Hill, and Caterham Valley, which includes the principle town centre. Caterham is situated 21 miles from the county town of Guildford and 15.5 miles south of London. The total population of Caterham, according to the 2011 census, is 21090 inhabitants from 8543 households, which illustrates a growth of households by 130 in ten years. Because of its easy access to London, Caterham is largely a commuter town. It does have its own companies of both small and medium size, but there are few specific business or industrial parks for this to expand significantly. Even so, Caterham is home to a considerable area devoted to retail and restaurants in Caterham Valley, in addition to numerous pubs spread out across the town. The town consists of two high streets, serving substantial and affluent communities, with a railway station and also a mixture of modern day and more historic buildings. The town also has two youth football clubs, Caterham Pumas F. C. and Queens Park F. C. The Old Caterhamians Rugby Football Club, established in 1928 and shares its facilities with Caterham Cricket Club, formerly played in Queen's Park. You can find a lot of opportunities for involvement in the arts or watching performances, in particular at the theatre situated within the old Caterham Barracks plus the Miller Centre in the town centre that frequently shows amateur performances and films, as well as hosting numerous clubs and community groups. For all of your residence upgrades, be certain that you employ trustworthy experts in Caterham to ensure you get the top quality.

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 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.

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.
