Damp Proofing in Forfar

Extensions such as garage conversions will often require additional 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 designed to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be put into walls and floors. Additionally, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will most likely be achieved by utilising 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, below 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 been damp proofed, but this might have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to adhere to current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is carried out by either implementing damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, therefore is it vital to make sure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable damp proofing methods.

Forfar

Forfar is the county town of Angus, Scotland and the administrative centre for Angus Council. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent resident population of around 14048 people. Forfar dates back to the temporary Roman occupation of the area, and was later held by the Picts and the Kingdom of Scotland. It was held by the English before being recaptured by the Scots and presented to Robert the Bruce during the course of the Scottish Wars of Independence. Forfar has actually been both a traditional market town and a major manufacturing centre for linen and jute. Today, the primary activities are farming and tourism around the beautiful valley of Strathmore. The local glens are popular with hill-walkers, and there are ski-slopes in the mountains. The town has a 2nd division football club, Forfar Athletic, and Rugby Union is represented by Strathmore Rugby Football Club. The Forfar Bridie, a popular Scottish meat pastry treat, is typically identified with the town. Another feature of the town is the Forfar Loch Country Park, which is popular amongst locals as a walking location. The town is close to the Angus Glens, including Glen Doll, Glen Clova and Glen Prosen, which are popular with skiers and hill walkers. The area is notable for the stunning views of the mountains and Strathmore. The town even has a swimming pool and a separate dedicated leisure centre. It has an ice rink which was constructed in the early 1990s and this is home to the local curling club. There are additionally a number of bowling clubs, and the Forfar Golf Club which is set at Cunninghill to the east of the town. Angus Gliding Club runs at Roundyhill, between Glamis and Kirriemuir. For all your home improvements, be sure to identify reliable contractors in Forfar to make certain of quality.

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 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.

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.
