Damp Proofing in Great Missenden

Extensions such as garage conversions will typically require additional damp proofing to be added as part of conversion, as the pre-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 added to walls and floors. Additionally, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will most likely be achieved by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane is available in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be placed 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 have been damp proofed, but this may need to be improved 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 utilising damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already in the garage. Damp proofing is a part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should comply with, and so is it vital to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates appropriate damp proofing methods.

Great Missenden

Great Missenden is an affluent village of some 2000 locals in the Misbourne Valley in the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire, England. It is set in between the towns of Amersham and Wendover, with direct rail links to London Marylebone. It closely connects the villages of Little Kingshill, Little Missenden and the larger village Prestwood. The narrow and celebrated High Street is bypassed by the main A413 London to Aylesbury Road. It lies in the heart of The Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The source of the Misbourne is to be found just north of the village, although the upper reach of the river runs only in winter and the perennial head is in Little Missenden. The village is now regarded as the home of the late Roald Dahl, the globally distinguished children's author. The village has actually frequently displayed in 'Best Places to Live' lists. The Guardian, for example, showcased a short article describing how the village has been 'prime stockbroker belt for over a century' and reflected favourably on its 'ancient churches, beech woods, deep valleys, rolling Chiltern Hills, higgledy-piggledy streets'. The Telegraph in addition ranked the village 4th in its 'Best Places to Raise a Family in the UK' 2015 survey. Great Missenden lays on a major route in between the Midlands and London. Many coaching inns, specifically the Red Lion, which is now an estate agency, and The George provided rest and refreshment for travellers and their horses. Following the arrival of the Metropolitan Railway in 1892, Great Missenden ended up being a commuter village for London with authors, entertainers as well as Prime Ministers among the travelers. Great Missenden train station is now on the Chiltern Railways line and provides fast services running into London Marylebone.
