Extensions such as garage conversions will often require additional damp proofing to be added as part of conversion, as the existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be put into walls and floors. In addition, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will most likely be performed by employing 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 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 some garages, the walls have been damp proofed, but this may need to be improved as part of the conversion in order to adhere to current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is done 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 adhere to, and so is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates appropriate damp proofing methods.
The average cost of Damp proofing is £1500. Costs vary based upon the materials and the organisation selected. The upper price range can be as high as £1725. The material costs are in general about £375

Galashiels is a Scottish burgh in Selkirkshire on the Gala Water river. It acts as a major industrial centre for the Borders region. Although it has an oceanic climate, its high position and distance from the sea means that it has colder winters and somewhat warmer summers than many coastal places, and snow in winter months is more common. According to the 2011 census, the town has a permanent population of around 14994. In 2015, the Scottish Borders Council declared Galashiels as the capital of the Scottish Borders. Its population grew dramatically as a result of the textile trade with a number of mills. A connection with the town's mill history, the Mill Lade, continues to connect the town from near the site of mills at Wheatlands Road, to Netherdale, through Wilderhaugh, Bank Street, the Fountain and next to the retail development street. The town is especially well known for textile making, and it is also the setting of Heriot-Watt University's School of Textiles and Design, Galashiels Academy and one campus of the Borders College, which since 2009 has actually moved and now accompanies the University. A distinctive landmark in Galashiels is the Glasite church, which is in real danger of being lost, yet it remains to be standing between the mills and shop buildings on High Street, Botany Lane and Roxburgh Street. It is home to Gala RFC and Gala Fairydean Rovers, with the football and rugby grounds connected to each other at one end. The football club's main stand was built in 1963 to designs by Peter Womersley, based in nearby Gattonside, with the cantilevered concrete structure, in the Brutalist style, being preserved as a Category A listed building. For all your house upgrades, make sure to make use of respected specialists in Galashiels to make certain of quality.

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.
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!
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.
