Extensions including garage conversions will usually require supplementary damp proofing to be installed as part of conversion, as the existing garage routinely has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be added to 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 achieved by by using 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 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 will have already been damp proofed, but this may have to be updated as part of the conversion in order to meet current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be performed by either using damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already in the garage. Damp proofing is a part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to adhere to, therefore is it important to make sure that your garage conversion makes use of appropriate 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

Didcot is a railway town and civil parish in the county of Oxfordshire. Though it is a parish, it has the standing of a town, being administered by the Didcot Town Council. The town belonged of Berkshire until its shift to Oxfordshire in 1974, due to a boundary change specified in the 1972 Local Government Act, and it ended up being a part of the newly-formed South Oxfordshire district. Having an area of 3.27 square miles and a population total of 25 140, it makes up the largest town in the new district. Didcot has actually been branded as one of 3 primary development regions in Oxfordshire, due to such developments as the 'Ladygrove' beginning in the late 1980s. The 'Ladygrove' has actually featured construction work in the north and east of Didcot's train line on marshland from the late 1980s, and the development is on task to double the amount of houses in the town. It is anticipated that the town will continue to expand thanks to the decision of a planning enquiry in 2006 that the development of a 3200 home project to the west of the town will begin after the conclusion of the 'Ladygrove' development. Didcot is widely recognised for its power station, railway and train junction. The town was of strategic importance to military logistics through World War 1 and World War Two because of Didcot's junction of the routes to London, Bristol, Oxford and to Southampton using the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway (DN&S). In 2015, Didcot ended up being the first existing town titled as a Garden Town, which is a status that offers backing to support sustainable and environmentally-friendly town development for 15 years.

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.
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!
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.
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.
