Extensions such as garage conversions will often require additional 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 be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be added to walls and floors. In addition, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will usually be performed by employing a damp proof membrane. This membrane can come 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 if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In a few garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this might need to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to meet current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to protect the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be accomplished by either utilising 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 will need to comply with, therefore is it important to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates suitable damp proofing methods.

Ferndale is a small town located in the Rhondda Valley in the region district of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Neighbouring villages are Blaenllechau, Maerdy and Tylorstown. Ferndale was industrialised in the mid-19th century. The initial coal mine shaft was sunk in 1857 and was the first community to be intensively industrialised in the Rhondda Valley. In Welsh, Ferndale is called Glynrhedynog, the name of one of the old ranches on which the community is developed. In its infancy Glynrhedynog was likewise called Trerhondda after the name of the first big chapel to be built in the town. The identifying of negotiations after chapels was widespread in Wales at the time, as is received village names such as Bethesda, Beulah as well as Horeb, however neither Glynrhedynog nor Trerhondda was destined to be utilized for long. Glynrhedynog is made from words "glyn" suggesting valley as well as "rhedynog" meaning ferny, and so coal from the Glynrhedynog pits was marketed as Ferndale coal, a a lot easier name for English buyers to assimilate. The Ferndale pits are what drew the labor force and their family members to the location, as well as by the 1880s "Ferndale" was well established as a growing town. With the phasing in of bilingual roadway indicators from the late 1980s onwards, the name Glynrhedynog gradually re-emerged as well as is now the formally assigned Welsh language name for Ferndale. The Welsh language gets on the rise in Ferndale after the village embraced the English language during the Industrial transformation. A Welsh language school is located near the park as well as the institution is named after the park's lake, 'Llyn-y-Forwyn.' (The Maiden's Lake).

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.
