Damp Proofing in Dronfield

Extensions including garage conversions will typically require extra damp proofing to be added through the conversion, as the pre-existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be added to walls and floors. Furthermore, the roofing 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 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 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 some garages, the walls will have already been damp proofed, but this might have to be improved as part of the conversion in order to meet current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This can be performed by either utilising damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should adhere to, and so is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable damp proofing methods.

Dronfield

Dronfield is a town in North East Derbyshire in the North Midlands region of England. It is comprised of three communities, which are Dronfield, Dronfield Woodhouse and Coal Aston. It lies in the valley of the River Drone, and sits in between the town of Chesterfield and the city of Sheffield. Dronfield encompasses an area of 3457 acres, and the A61 trunk road, Dronfield-Unstone Bypass, cuts through the town. Being in close proximity to the Pennines, Dronfield also has quick access to the Peak District National Park, which is 3 miles away. It is strongly believed that the town was in existence previous to the 1086 Domesday Book, and it has a 12th-century parish church. Dronfield has a past history of engineering, with coal mining, the wool trade, the production of soap and steel, and engineering being the most prominent markets. Many production companies continue to work within the town. The population of Dronfield has gone through significant growth ever since the post-war years, going from 6500 in 1945 to 21000 in 2011. This is somewhat the effect of the town's position as a dormitory community for employees from close-by Chesterfield and Sheffield. The town is said to be the home of the most extensive independently owned housing estate in Europe, called Gosforth Valley, when it was built in the 1970s. Even with development and modernisation, the town has actually maintained its ancient character, with various historic structures staying untouched. Occupants have lots of opportunities for shopping at independent and commercial chain stores, visiting libraries and attending leisure centres. The world's oldest football team, Sheffield F. C., is based in the football stadium to the north of the town. For all of your house upgrades, make sure to make use of trusted experts in Dronfield to make certain of 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 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.

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.
