Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require extra damp proofing to be added through the conversion, as the existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be added to walls and floors. Moreover, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will often be achieved by utilising 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 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 been damp proofed, but this may need to be updated as part of the conversion to be able to meet current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order 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 already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an integral 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.
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

Chathill is a village in Northumberland, in England. It is situated about 9 miles (14 km) north of Alnwick and three miles (5 km) inland from the North Sea coast. Chathill is within the parliamentary constituency of Berwick-upon-Tweed. The village includes a permanent population of under 10000 inhabitants. It's served by Chathill railway station. The station also serves the close by villages of Seahouses, Embleton, Bamburgh and Belford. Although situated on the East Coast Main Line, the station is served by just two arrivals and departures, Mondays to Saturdays, delivering commuting links both to and from Newcastle upon Tyne. The station was for many years served by loco-hauled stopping trains in between Newcastle, Berwick-upon-Tweed & Edinburgh Waverley (the British Rail timetable for 1982 had four departures each way from here), but these were reduced in frequency and, therefore, curtailed at Berwick by BR at the latter end of the 1980s and subsequently withdrawn altogether north of Chathill following the introduction of electric working on the ECML in 1991. Chathill is known as being home to Preston Pele Tower, which was built between 1392 and 1399. One of its former owners was Sir Guiscard Harbottle of Beamish, who was killed at the Battle of Flodden, the conflict in between the Kingdom of England and Scotland, who was also an ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales. The tower features a clock, which was installed in 1864, and it features mechanisms much like Big Ben. For all of your house upgrades, make certain that you use trustworthy pros in Chathill to ensure you get the best quality.

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!
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.
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.
