Extensions including garage conversions will often require additional damp proofing to be added during the conversion, as the existing garage typically has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need 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 in most cases be achieved by employing 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, underneath the new floor, or as part of both, depending on if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In a few garages, the walls have been damp proofed, but this might need to be improved as part of the conversion in order to adhere to current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly 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 already present in the garage. Damp proofing is a 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 incorporates appropriate damp proofing methods.
