Damp proofing where necessary
Extensions such as garage conversions will often require supplementary damp proofing to be installed as part of conversion, as the existing garage will often have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to comply 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 for the floor of the garage conversion will most likely be performed by using 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 already been damp proofed, but this may need to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to comply with current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This can be performed by either making use of damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, and so is it important to make sure that your garage conversion incorporates suitable 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

Haverhill is a market town and civil parish in the county of Suffolk. It is positioned on the borders of Essex and Cambridgeshire, being 14 miles south-east of Cambridgeshire and 47 miles north-east of central London. The town centre lies at the base of a dip in the chalk hills of the Newmarket Ridge, and the Stour Brook, which eventually joins the River Stour outside of the town, flows through Haverhill. It is the second biggest town in the Borough of St. Edmundsbury, with a population of 27041. Despite the fact that the town is surrounded by arable land, the economy is dominated by industry, due to the sizeable commercial estate and a business park consisting of several production companies in the south of the town. It is also home to scientific firms and several waste processing, transportation and building firms. As a result of planning reviews completed in 1956 and 1962, aiming to transfer families from London who had lost their homes during the course of World War II, Haverhill has gradually expanded in the post-war period, with a swift threefold rise in population from the population of 5446 in 1962. Haverhill is defined as a modern-day and young town. It has 2 Non-League football clubs, Haverhill Rovers F. C. and Haverhill Borough F. C., a baseball team, and various sporting activities are available at a leisure centre containing a swimming pool, a gym and a children's soft play area. Alongside picking from several independent and chain stores for completing shopping, a weekly market is run in the town every Saturday, which goes back to 1086.

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.
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!
