Damp Proofing in Heathfield

Extensions such as garage conversions will often require additional damp proofing to be added during the conversion, as the pre-existing garage routinely has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be put into walls and floors. Furthermore, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will often be achieved by by using 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 existing concrete floor, underneath the new floor, or as part of both, depending on whether the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this might 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 safeguard 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 already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to adhere to, therefore is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion employs appropriate damp proofing methods.

Heathfield

Heathfield is a modest market town in East Sussex, England. The town lies near the junction of 2 main roads: the A267 in between Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne; and the A265 from Hawkhurst. It is practically equidistant from Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne: approximately 16 mi (26 kilometres). Traditionally, Heathfield lay on an ancient trackway (The Ridgeway), connecting the South Downs with the Weald. Its market charter was given in February 1316 during the reign of Edward II. The Wealden iron brought wealth to the town during the course of the 16th and 17th centuries; the arrival of the railway (the Cuckoo Line) in 1880 offered it another new lease of life. The latter was not a financial success and the branch line between Eridge and Polegate closed in 1968. The trackbed is now named the Cuckoo Trail, part of the National Cycle Network. The original village, referred to as Old Heathfield, is now merely part of the town, which has expanded gradually. The town runs an annual fair named the Heffle Cuckoo Fair each April, and the yearly Heathfield show happens each May in the summertime. There is an Anglo/French market called Le Marché held yearly on the August Bank Vacation and a fair that visits throughout the Summer. There is a relatively sizeable football field and a little play area. At Cross-in-Hand there is a rugby club for adults and children. Within the town, there are 2 florists, several churches, a few hair and beauty salons, 2 boutiques, an electrical store, 2 bookshops, 2 ironmongers, 5 charity stores, 2 pubs, a green grocer, a butcher, a baker, 2 antique shops, a grocery store, and a number of banks, estate agents, and restaurants. For all your home developments, make sure to identify respected experts in Heathfield to make certain of quality.

FAQs

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.

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!
