Damp Proofing in Erskine

Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require supplementary damp proofing to be added as part of conversion, as the pre-existing garage typically has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be put into walls and floors. Furthermore, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will usually 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 whether the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In a few garages, the walls have already 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 safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This can be performed by either employing damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already present in the garage. Damp proofing is a part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should adhere to, and so is it important to make sure that your garage conversion makes use of appropriate damp proofing methods.

Erskine is a town in the council area of and county of Renfrewshire. It lies in the West Central Lowlands of Scotland, laying on the southern shore of the River Clyde. The town is most often recognised for the Erskine bridge, which is the outermost west crossing point on the river, where it soon expands to come to be the Firth of Clyde estuary.

The building of a mixture of privately owned and rented accommodation in 1971 enabled the population to grow to 10000. Even with the majority of the residents being commuters, retail has a major role to play in the economy. The town's Bridgewater complex presents a wide range of independent and commercial chain stores, eateries, fast food outlets, a butchers and an opticians, to name but a few. Various other more compact retail locations can also be found in the town. Accessible to locals are also many leisure and sports activities.

FAQs

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.

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 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.
